Give a TWO-THOUSAND word argumentative essay examining: The problem of deterrence. Why is CCTV effective at preventing property crime, but ineffective at preventing violence?
The perspectives you are going to look at are – Rational Choice Theory (Psychology) and General Strain Theory (Sociology). You will compare and contrast these two theories and their explanations of offending decision-making and deterrence effectiveness (through threat of punishment).
The essay must rely on a minimum of fifteen (15) peer reviewed journal articles.
To do this, you will:
• Address the concepts of deterrence and rationality
o Introduce the assumptions of deterrence. Explain the logic (and/or downfalls) of deterring crime through punishment.
• Introduce and explain both theories and their disciplinary perspectives.
o Discuss how Rational Choice Theory and General Strain Theory can be applied to this question to explain downfalls (or successes) of deterrence efforts (threat of punishment).
o Actively compare and contrast the two theories and their explanations/arguments as to why punishments are effective/ineffective in deterring crime.
o Lastly, you are to provide an argument as to which theory provides a better understanding of this essay question and why (you may also argue in favour of both theories, but you MUST provide an argument as to WHY).
o ALL arguments must be supported by the literature/research (not your own opinion).
• To successfully answer this question, you are required to use critical analysis (do not just provide a summary of what the literature says). You must provide an argumentative essay, supporting your argument with a synthesis of credible and relevant literature.
