Strayer University Criminology Theory Application Worksheet

 

In this assignment, you are taking on a role as a police officer. The Chief wants to continue her emphasis on empathy training. Now that she’s comfortable that officers have a grounding in criminology theory, she wants to see how effectively they are able to apply what they’ve learned about criminology theory and empathy to their daily police work. As part of their prework for an upcoming departmental training session, the chief wants all officers to complete a chart that requires them to specify for 10 given scenarios:

The crime committed and      the underlying cause of the behavior, based on criminology theories.

A police response to the      scenario that addresses the behavior and provides a solution to the      incident. 

Instructions

Complete the Criminology Theory Application Chart [DOCX] (attached), which identifies 10 scenarios of criminal or deviant acts that officers are likely to encounter in performance of their duties.

Identify the crime(s) or      deviance committed.
