Scenario

A team conducting a strategic analysis of changes in recent crime in Georgia has asked you to give a presentation to an affected community. They have asked for your help using evidence-based theories to interpret the criminal behavior and reveal potential patterns that can be used to inform crime-prevention efforts.

Preparation

Select data or an event that occurred in Georgia within the past 12-24 months involving charges for a particular type of crime. You can use the Interactive Data Analyzer from the U.S. Sentencing Commission to view data on crimes by federal offenders or view the FBI's What We Investigate press release search tool on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) website to locate violent crime events in the news. Align your chosen crime to a school of thought or criminology theory presented so far in this course that explains the criminal behavior.

Assessment Deliverable

Using real-life information from Georgia about a crime of your choice, create a 10- to 12-slide presentation for the affected community, as if you were a crime analyst explaining fundamental theories on the causes of the recent criminal behavior.
