Criminal Justice Theory: What is “criminal justice theory” (in contrast with “criminological theory”)? Discuss and to illustrate the application of criminal justice theory, provide a brief analysis of a contemporary criminal justice issue from each of the eight criminal justice theoretical perspectives presented in Kraska & Brent’s Theorizing Criminal Justice. Discuss whether these perspectives are sufficient to make sense of your particular topic. Are there other perspectives that need to be considered? Discuss. Responding to these questions is an opportunity to practice writing in response to questions similar to those on the criminal justice component of the comprehensive exam and represent areas that should be addressed in thesis projects. Exams should be typed and written in the format of an essay, double-spaced, APA citation format. Just makes sure you fully answer the question including citations and APA format reference list. The more citations to readings, use of quotes and examples to illustrate points, and polished presentation and writing, the more effective your essay will be.
