Reflections on Theoretical Implications for Criminal Justice-Related Interventions and Policies

Below, I have listed a few interventions/policies that have been used to address criminal behavior, along with a relevant theory that ties in with the intervention/policy (for example, mandatory minimums links to deterrence theory. Please make sure that you are not matching the intervention/policy with the wrong theory). 


Mandatory Minimums – Deterrence
Youth Curfews – Routine Activities
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – Biopsychosocial
Sex Offender Registries – Labeling

Choose and explain one of the specific interventions/policies listed above and explain its effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) in addressing crime. Be sure to explain what aspects of the policy align with the theory that it is associated with. In your reflection, you should also identify at least 1 crime type or sample for which the intervention/policy has been applied, discuss at least one limitation of the intervention or policy, identify one way in which the intervention or policy could be improved and explain why it would improve the intervention/policy in a way that is consistent with the relevant theory.

  • describe the intervention/policy you chose 
  • explain whether research has found the intervention/policy to be effective or ineffective in lowering crime and why — note that this is not asking for your personal opinion about whether it is effective or not
  • explain how the theory relates to the intervention/policy
  • identify a sample or crime type that the intervention/policy has been applied to and explain why the sample or crime type is suitable for the intervention/policy 
  • identify at least 1 limitation of the intervention/policy and explain why it is a limitation 
  • identify at least 1 way to improve the intervention/policy and explain how the theory supports your improvement suggestion 
  • have at least 2 scholarly references cited in APA format in the bibliography 
  • have at least 2 scholarly in-text citations in APA format
