Assignment: Controlling Violent Crime
There are many factors that can be associated with the cause of violent crime. Research suggests that some of the factors include severe mental health abnormalities, children who are consistently exposed to violence at home, firearm availability, the independent subculture of violence, and the socialization process, just to name a few. In addition, it has also been found that when homicide occurs, there is often a preexisting relationship that is present. Some relationships include a romantic relationship, narcotic seller/narcotic buyer relationship, or a gang rivalry. Despite the understanding of the aforementioned, criminal justice professionals still have difficulty controlling homicides. Review Chapter 10 in your primary text, and watch the video Murder Capital USA Ganglands of Chicago, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F1-5prOJDs ), which discusses the high murder rates in Chicago and focuses on contributing factors (Siegel, 2015; Danzo1212, 2013).
In your paper,
• Critique a criminological theory that explains why homicides occur.
• Discuss ways to decrease and control homicides in the United States.
• Discuss some of the factors of focus of the various sociological schools of crime causation that explain why murder occurs.
Your paper must
• Be three to five double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style
• Use at least six scholarly sources in addition to the course text and the article being evaluated.
