The module name is: On Crimes and Punishment – An Introduction to Criminological Theory

My essay question is, ‘Does classicism or positivism best explain why Justin Rollins committed crime?’.

It is a 2,000 word essay (excluding reference list)
The essay should be done on a word document.
For this essay, Havard referencing must be used.

Note: Students will be penalised if they go 10% over or under the word limit of their assessment. The penalty will be 1% for every 100 words (up to a maximum of 10%).

Read Justin Rollins Book, The Lost Boyz – Justin Rollins to better understand the essay question and I must reference from that same book a lot times (maybe). Research about Justin Rollins life and past to better understand and know whether classicism (nurture/freewill) or positivism (nature/determinism) best explains why he committed crime.

knowledge and depth of understanding of the core schools of criminological thought needs to be evident within the essay, detailed description of key contributors and arguments with evidence of evaluation needs to be evident in the essay as well as evidence of reading appropriate supplementary sources, evidence of relevant application of theory to explain Justin Rollins’ offending behaviour needs to be evident within the essay aswel as the essay being logically structured, using correct grammar and spelling and accurate referencing and bibliography.
