to pick the theory that you think is the best theory at explaining either individual-level (micro) or cumulative (macro) crime, and discuss why you chose that theory.

For this assignment, you are asked to pick the theory that you think is the best theory at explaining either individual-level (micro) or cumulative (macro) crime, and discuss why you chose that theory. What qualities based on the discussion of the theory do you think helps to better explain crime over other theories? Does this theory violate assumptions or have any internal inconsistencies? You are then asked to discuss the theory that you think is worst at explaining crime, and why. Are there flaws within the theory, or issues that the theory cannot overcome? While this is a thought exercise, it still requires you to understand and explain the basic tenets, what you believe to be good and bad about the theory, and be able to compare and contrast the theories.
