Introduction to Criminology

Social Process Theories

In a well-constructed, one page essay (500+ words), discuss one of the social process theories (social learning, social control, or social reaction), and why you think it best explains why criminals commit crimes.

(NOTE: A “well-constructed” essay will be in complete sentences and paragraphs. It will be structured to include an introduction, body, and conclusion. While APA references and citations are not required for this course, they are strongly suggested since they will be required in future courses. Also, you must at least attempt to provide citation and reference information for any specific information that you use that is not your own thoughts in order to avoid plagiarism.)
