You will apply either a Modern theory OR Feminist theory to the case study of female criminality. • You will provide a comprehensive discussion of the main premises of your chosen theory and apply them to the elements of your chosen case study in an essay of 2000 words. • The reference rubric will be used, the Harvard style must be applied, and the submission must be submitted through SafeAssign. • As this is an academic essay, you are expected to follow the requirements for presentation of your information – be sure to use headings and sub-headings to structure your essay and make use of the acceptable writing style. Various theoretical perspectives have attempted to understand criminality (and more specifically female criminality). Modern theories have focused on the emancipation of women, offered gendered assumptions about female offending and the differences in the socialisation of girls and boys. The feminist approaches build on the themes of gender roles and socialisation to explain the patterns of female offending. In an academic essay of not more than 2000 words, choose any one of the Modern theories OR Feminist theories and apply your chosen theory to a case study of female criminality. • To complete this assignment, you will need to conduct extensive research on female offenders and choose one case study that allows for the best explanation of your chosen theory. • When deciding on the case study, ensure that you have sourced information that provides enough context for you to adequately apply your chosen theory. • Before applying your theory to the case study, provide an overview of the case study outlining the details of the offender and the nature of the crimes she has committed. • Identify the main premise of your chosen theory and the explanations proposed for female offending. • Using the premises of the theory, link the theory to the case study to provide a comprehensive theoretical explanation of the reasons for the criminal behaviour. f • As you provide your links and explanations, your argument should be comprehensive enough to provide your lecturer with a clear understanding of the case study you have chosen.
