Create a three-part memorandum for your supervisor in which you research a
crime prevention program or a strategy for a crime prevention program, utilizing the format of an annotated
bibliography. You will then assess the effectiveness of the crime prevention program or strategy and
consider how theories may provide context for approaches to crime prevention.
1.Theory Application
The memorandum must compare and contrast how and to what extent each of the following theoretical
approaches, drawn from Chapter 3 of the Elliott and Fagin (2017) text, could support the crime prevention
strategy addressed in the selected article:
General deterrence theory
Specific deterrence theory
Routine Activities theory
2.Next, compare and contrast how and to what extent each of the below theories, drawn from the life course
approach discussed in Chapter 3 of the Elliott and Fagin (2017) text, could support the crime prevention
program or strategy addressed in the selected article:
Strain theory
Social learning theory
Social control theory
Integrated theory
3.Finally, and although more than one theory may be relevant and applicable, recommend one of the
foregoing seven theories that would best inform the crime prevention program or strategy in your selected
crime prevention program.
