In my Sociology of Criminology course, we have an opportunity to do some extra credit.
What we have to do, is take a strong source and summarize/analyze the discussion of criminology theories that we have discussed in the course.
Her first option was to read one of the books on a list she had, but I'm not going that route. Not to mention not enough time left to devote to reading a book.
But, she said we could do it on a topic covered by a History or Discovery Channel show of some sort.
Or on some journal article describing a specific criminal or group and that dissects their methodology and reasons. Or something to that tune...
I haven't given it much thought, but one idea I had was a special the History Channel aired awhile back (and I think it may have been somewhat older as well). I just remember the morning started with a 2 hour special on Hippies, and then an hour-long show on marijuana and something, and then another hour show on lsd and a few other things.
Haven't quite figured out if any of those shows had anything useful regarding criminology theories, so I think I need to look for other things.
I might post a list of a bunch of theories later, need to get on with some other things at the moment.
