Label each step. Use the criminology theory 7th edition attached pages as the source.
1) Attach a youtube video that relates to Choosing Crime in Everyday Life: Routine Activity and Rational Choice Theories. Include a few sentences in your post that describe how the video relates to the theories from the readings that were attached.
2) Explain why “the potential ineffectiveness of severe sanctions can never be demonstrated because both failure and success are taken as evidence in favor of their use.” Use the criminology theory 7th edition attached pages as the source.
3) reply to this and cite sources to help justify your answer from the attcahed textbook pages: “The “not me fallacy” is how society views criminals versus themselves. The textbook says the fallacy describes the “supposedly mistaken assumption that ‘most individuals would like to think that they are fundamentally different from serious offenders in their willingness to commit crimes'” (347). With this mindset, it’s easy to separate people. This may enforce the idea that one person is better than the other, which doesn’t help in understanding crime solutions. To understand solutions to crime, we must understand the person and why they are committing crimes. However, this isn’t easy when there is a sort of moral separation between these people.” Use ongoing and meaningful participation, show that you really understand what they wrote and try to connect your responses to the material that is attached. Don’t just put that you agree or disagree.
4) Read this article (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/opinion/crime-public-opinion.html) and reply to this person’s thoughts on the video. “The journalistic news article I found went back to how we talked about Routine Activity and Rational Choice Theories. Krugman expresses that within 2022 the FBI had numbers that were based on the population of 100,000 Americans (Krugman, 2023). Where he elaborates that when it comes to reporting the public is basing the crimes we see on television on the entire population not just a sample. Since we may be shaped based on social media, news, and political intentions we don’t see the differences between rational and routine theories within criminal justice (Krugman, 2023). For example, within Rational Choice Theory, we talk about how we focus on the logic and the motivations they may have when it comes to committing crimes (Lily,2018). But we do not look at the background of why the person committed this crime. We look at the possible outcomes of how to stop the actions of the crime from being repeated. Another example would be within the textbook, where rational choice theory is not only a crime but it’s also due to how the person is motivated or In a liability or condition that makes them act a certain way (Lily,2018). However It’s not only the motivations that are the result of the actual crime that’s committed, it’s the background and assumptions that make us choose how to take the offenders seriously or how they think and predict what other events could occur in the future (Lily,2018). Going back to the article expresses how we look at the crime rate and act upon it not only in the criminal justice field but also in the general public. We mainly only look at the logic in front of us and never the background or biological/nurture perspectives within the scenario on why the crime was committed.” Use ongoing and meaningful participation, show that you really understand what they wrote and try to connect your responses to the material attached.
