Movie Reflection Paper

What you have to do:

Write a reflection paper on Eighteen with A Bullet, Maria Full of Grace, or City of God.

Use specific scenes or characters in the film as an example to discuss several criminological theories we discussed in class.

Make sure to use the textbook to define the theories and correctly cite it in your paper.

This should show that you have enough understanding of criminological theories so that you can apply them to various real-life situations you have observed in the film.

Some of the topics you might want to discuss in your paper include:
Did characters have any strain in their lives? How did they cope with their strain (e.g. Merton's strain theory or Agnew's general strain theory)?

How did characters learn how to commit crimes? From whom did they learn?

How did characters' social bond to legitimate institutions of society (e.g. school, family, etc.) or the lack thereof lead to their delinquency?

Any impact of subcultures (e.g. Miller's focal concerns, Wolfgang and Ferracuti's subculture of violence, etc.)?

How did characters' gender affect her reasons to commit a crime?
