Select one theory discussed this trimester and use it to explain the criminal behaviour of any famous or documented criminal. You may pick any criminal you wish, but you must document the source of your information. Because you will not have access to case files, you will have to rely on media reports of the criminal. This is an exception to the general rule that you should not use popular or internet sources for information.
Write the case study in normal essay style. You do not need to pretend that you are writing a report for court or that you have personally interviewed the criminal.
You must use a theory covered in this course.
1. genetic theory
2. trait theory
3. developmental theory
4. biobehavioural theory
5. social learning theory
6. evolutionary theory
