This assignment provides you with an opportunity to critique the research that is available for the field of forensic psychology.
Begin by conducting a search in the CSU Online Library to locate one research article from a peer-reviewed journal about the development of criminal behavior. Although not required, consider using the Academic Search Complete database within the library to begin your search. Next, draft an article critique that addresses the following:
Summarize the main points of the article, and identify the elements of the research that contribute to understanding the relationship between personality factors and the likelihood of developing criminal behavior (personality factors, diversity factors, environmental factors, etc.).
List the strengths and limitations of the research presented.
Explain whether or not this article illustrates the impact that diversity and ethnicity have on risk factors.
What are some ethical concerns of this research, if any?
What theories support the offender scenario presented in the article?
Your article critique should be a minimum of two pages, not including title or reference pages. You must provide the full article reference and citations where applicable. APA format must be followed.
