Locate a documentary that provides detailed coverage of a specific criminal event and/or criminal offender(s) then provide a brief summary of the history of the criminal event(s) / criminal offender(s) reported in the documentary.

Locate a documentary that provides detailed coverage of a specific criminal event and/or criminal offender(s). Then, in your essay, provide a brief (1-2 page) summary of the history of the criminal event(s) / criminal offender(s) reported in the documentary.

Identify two specific criminological theories (i.e., Agnews General Strain Theory and Hirschis Social Control (Bond) Theory; Sutherlands Differential Association Theory and Cohens Theory of Delinquent Subcultures) that offer useful explanations for why the person(s) committed the crime(s). In your essay, provide a detailed explanation of each theory (1 page for each theory). Do NOT use the broader theoretical categories, such as Trait Theory, Social Structure Theory, Social Process Theory, or Developmental Theory; you must select more specific theories or theoretical explanations.

In your essay, apply both theories to the criminal event(s) reported in the documentary (1 page for each theory). That is, according to your selected criminological theories, why did the person(s) commit the crime(s)?

At the end of your essay, compare and contrast the two theoretical explanations of the criminal
event(s) and assess the strengths and weaknesses of the criminological theories (1-2 pages). Do the two theories offer similar or different explanations for the criminal event? What are the strengths/weaknesses of each theory? Does one theory do a better job of explaining the criminal event compared to the other theory? Are there details of the criminal event that conflict with one or both theories or that cannot be explained by one or both theories?
