1. What impact does the changing nature of crime have on criminology? Please be sure to provide at least one real life example to help illustrate/support your comments.
2. Going beyond the weekly readings, and supporting your comments with a real life example, how does (or can) criminological research impact social policy?
Note: This Discussion is directly connected to the following Course Learning Objective:
LO3. Judge the impact of criminological theory and research on social policy
Module Objectives:

Primary Forum question is designed so that they normally take 500 words to adequately answer. Hence if 2 questions are asked in a given week, then your Primary Post should be roughly 1,000 words combined not counting restating the questions and or references (again if 1 question is asked it will be half that, i.e., roughly 500 words)
Each question asked requires at least 2 different cited references for support (in accordance with the APA 7th edition).
