    case. You may select your own case, or select
    from one of the following Jeffery McDonald,
    Andrea Yates, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Aileen
    Wournos, John Wayne Gacy, Philip Markoff (the
    Craigslist killer), Scott Peterson, Anthony

CRJ 308 Week 1 DQ 1 Causes of Criminal Behavior
(ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Chapter 1 discusses several theoretical
    perspectives on and explanations for crime
    causation. After reviewing the various theories
    and theoretical perspectives, discuss your
    personal view regarding what causes criminal
    behavior. Which theory or theories do you feel
    are most accurate and why? Which are most
    inaccurate, and why? Be sure to explain whether
    you believe that one theory or a combination of
    theories best explains the causes of criminal
    behavior and why.

5
CRJ 308 Week 1 DQ 2 Development of Criminal
Behavior (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Some researchers and theorists believe that an
    interaction of both psychological factors (e.g.,
    biology, personality, and cognitive) and
    sociological factors can explain criminal
    behavior. Which psychological and sociological
    factors do you believe have the most influence on
    the development of criminal behavior, and why? Do
    you believe that psychological factors or
    sociological factors have more of an influence
    over behavior, or is it a combination of the two?
    Please be sure to provide an example of a
    criminal case to support your discussion.

CRJ 308 Week 1 Journal Psychological and
Sociological Influences of Psychopathic Behavior
(ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Psychological and Sociological Influences of
    Psychopathic BehaviorReview the video, In the
    Shadow of Feeling, and reflect on the various
    childhood psychological and sociological
    influences that can contribute to psychopathic
    behavior.

7
CRJ 308 Week 2 Assignment Personality Disorders
and Criminal Behavior (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  Personality Disorders and Criminal
    BehaviorSelect one of the personality disorders
    discussed in Chapter 4 (i.e., odd or eccentric
    personality disorders, dramatic personality
    disorders, anxious or fearful personality
    disorders, or antisocial personality disorder)
    and locate two to three scholarly articles in the
    Ashford Library that discusses a link between
    that personality disorder and the development of
    criminal behavior. In your paper, discuss the
    diagnostic characteristics of the personality
    disorder, the etiology of the disorder.

CRJ 308 Week 2 DQ 1 A Genetic or Biological Link
(ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Genetic or Biological Link?
  • Considering that factors such as eye color, hair
    color, facial features, body figures, and
    personality characteristics are passed down from
    generation to generation, could criminal behavior
    or criminal tendencies also be passed down? Thus,
    is there a genetic or biological link to
    understanding criminal behavior? Explain how
    temperament (which is determined largely by
    genetic or biological influences) and
    environmental experiences can influence the
    development of problematic and aggressive
    behavior. Watch Jon Ronson Strange Answers to
    the Psychopath Test and consider your own
    temperament as a child and explain how it fits
    with your personality today.
  •  

9
CRJ 308 Week 2 DQ 2 Biological Approach Versus
the Personality Approach (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Compare and contrast the temperament and
    biological approach and the personality approach
    with respect to development, causes of behavior,
    and influences on criminal behavior. Which
    approach do you feel has more of an influence on
    developing criminal characteristics? 
  •  

10
CRJ 308 Week 3 Assignment Brain Dysfunction in
Criminal Behavior (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  •   
  • Brain Dysfunction in Criminal BehaviorWatch the
    video, The Brain and Violence Secrets of Your
    Mind. In your paper, discuss the role that brain
    damage, abnormalities in brain structure, and
    disturbances in brain chemistry may play in
    criminal behavior. Support your discussion with
    two to three scholarly articles from the Ashford
    University Library that discuss the role of brain
    dysfunction and neuropsychological deficits in
    criminal behavior. Could criminal behavior be
    solely the result of brain dysfunction, or could
    other factors such as hereditary also play a role?

11
CRJ 308 Week 3 DQ 1 Social Reinforcers and
Punishers (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  •  
  • Social Reinforcers and Punishers
  • Gangs and gang violence persist as a significant
    concern for criminal justice and society at
    large. Considering the social learning theory and
    the links to antisocial behavior, describe how
    social reinforcers and punishers as well as
    differential associations may be linked to gang
    involvement and gang-related delinquency. What
    involvement might peer rejection play in the
    onset of delinquency and in the decision to join
    a gang? Locate at least one scholarly article to
    support your discussion.

CRJ 308 Week 3 DQ 2 What Motivates Offenders to
Commit Crime (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • What Motivates Offenders to Commit Crime?
  • Discuss at least three social-cognitive factors
    that motivate offenders to commit crime. Select
    one of the prevention and treatment programs
    discussed in Chapter 7, and discuss how that
    program can be used to treat the three factors
    you selected. Please be sure to locate at least
    one scholarly reference from the Ashford
    University Library to further explore the program
    you selected.
  •  

13
CRJ 308 Week 4 DQ 1 Id, Ego, and Superego (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  • Id, Ego, and Superego
  • As with personality theories, Freuds theory and
    other psychoanalytic theories may be difficult to
    test and prove in court. Analyze Freuds theory
    and discuss the impact that it has on the
    development of criminal behavior. What roles do
    the Id, Ego, and Superego play in problematic
    behavior, and what influence do defensive
    mechanisms have on the development of criminal
    behavior? Discuss the pros and cons of Freuds
    theory and how you feel it would hold up in
    court.
  •  

14
CRJ 308 Week 4 DQ 2 Humanist and Interactionist
Theories (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Humanist and Interactionist Theories
  • Select two of the humanist and interactionist
    theories presented in Chapter 8 of the text.
    Compare and contrast the features of the
    theories, with respect to the causes and
    influences of criminal behavior. Discuss the pros
    and cons of each theory. Which theory do you
    believe is most valid and why?
  •  

15
CRJ 308 Week 4 Journal Reflection on Theories of
Crime (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Reflection on Theories of CrimeConsider the
    various perspectives and theories of crime that
    we have discussed in class and reflect on which
    theory or theories you find most valid. Which
    theory, or theories, do you believe thoroughly
    and effectively describe the causes of criminal
    behavior? What programs are available to treat
    criminal behavior with respect to the theory or
    perspective you selected?

16
CRJ 308 Week 5 Assignment Final Case Study (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Explore, in depth, one well-known criminal case.
    You may select your own case, or select from one
    of the following Jeffery McDonald, Andrea Yates,
    Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Aileen Wournos, John
    Wayne Gacy, Philip Markoff (the Craigslist
    killer), Scott Peterson, Anthony Sowell, or
    Dennis Rader (BTK strangler). Your case study
    should focus on the following
  • Summarize the case, including a description of
    the offense(s), the investigation, and the
    outcome (such as the trial and sentencing).
  •  

17
CRJ 308 Week 5 DQ 1 Traits of a Psychopath (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Traits of a Psychopath
  • Watch The PCL-R Checklist A measure of evil.
    Discuss the characteristics and traits of a
    psychopath and how the PCL-R Checklist can be
    used to diagnose psychopathy. Using the textbook,
    video, and other outside scholarly sources,
    discuss the validity of the PCL-R Checklist, the
    ethical considerations of diagnosing a
    psychopath, and the legal implications of such
    diagnoses. Do you believe that such assessments
    as the PCL-R Checklist can provide accurate
    predictions of an individuals behavior? Based on
    the video and your readings, what do you think
    the prospects are of successfully rehabilitating
    a psychopath?

18
CRJ 308 Week 5 DQ 2 Serial, Spree, and Mass
Murders (ASH)
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • Serial, Spree, and Mass Murders
  • Differentiating between serial murders, spree
    murders, and mass murders can be difficult, as
    some individuals fit into two or more categories.
    Compare and contrast the characteristics of a
    serial murderer, spree murderer, and mass
    murderer. Using web resources, provide a criminal
    example of each one and discuss the motivations
    behind the crime(s). Are the motivations similar
    or different across the three? Do you think
    psychopathy plays a role in all murders?
