Order Description

This assignment will allow students to become familiar with current theoretical
explanations for juvenile delinquency. Siegel and Welsh (2017) discuss a number of explanatory
approaches, e.g., classical deterrence theory, psychological explanations, sociological theories,
etc. As part of this assignment, students are required to select two of these theories and to present
a comparison [similar elements] and a contrast [different elements] of the two selected
approaches. Students must keep in mind that simply presenting content information for each
approach [i.e., a paraphrased description extracted from Siegel & Welsh, 2017] is not sufficient.
The paper must identify aspects in which the approaches can be compared and contrasted and
then should include these in a creative but organized manner (i.e., clear headings, tables, figures,
etc.).
In addition, students must elaborate on the implications for treatment and for social
services, each approach has on relevant variables such as gender, school and education,
substance abuse, and mental health issues.
