Discuss the threats posed to society

Reference no: EM133528245

For this, you will need to find several news paper articles/sources (credible sources and links as well as documentaries) about the specific topic as many of them are current issues. You may not find academic sources specifically on your topic but on the general area. The academic sources are meant to be used as supporting material to assist you to establish the broader context. For example, if you were examining a specific case about elite deviance and Ponzi schemes where hundreds of people were defrauded, you need to find news articles about the facts of the case, and perhaps the trial and outcome. You then conduct academic research, finding what is known in the scholarly field, which allows you to provide further context. For example, after collecting details in the news media, you can follow by finding academic peer-reviewed/scholarly articles about related issues. For example, what are Ponzi schemes and how they work; who are the typical perpetrators; harms and impacts on victims as well as on society as these schemes can range in the millions; public perceptions of these crimes; sentencing and deterrence.
