It is important to understand how people make sense of criminality and assumptions made about the criminal and human nature. This assignment bridges the theoretical readings we have been doing with the everyday by getting you to explore the (mis)perceptions and (mis)conceptions of crime circulating in current discourse. You are to select an article from a major Metro Toronto newspaper that deals with crime, criminals or the criminal justice system. Drawing from the material we have covered thus far in the course, your paper will discuss the theoretical assumptions about crime/criminality that the author or others in the article are making. You should also provide a critique of these positions. Please choose wisely when selecting an article. Not all articles will provide a useful basis for analysis so you may have to do some searching and thinking.
The assignment must be typed, 12pt font Time New Roman, double spaced, stapled, and approximately 4-6 pages in length. The pages must be numbered. Remember to cite things that are not your idea. Use APA in-text citations for the readings or my lectures. You do not need a reference page if you are only citing material from our class. You are not expected to consult outside research but if you do you must provide a reference page. Please make sure you attach a copy of the article that you have chosen to the end of the paper for reference.
Questions you may want to consider asking the author or other people in the article (note this is not an exhaustive; nor a prescriptive list and some questions may not be pertinent to the article you choose):
What theories of crime/criminality are being drawn upon?
How is the criminal depicted?
How is human nature understood?
What theories inform their concept of the law/criminal justice system?
What are suggested/implied solutions to the problems presented?
