1. Paper is on Dexter Morgan.
2. Clip is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCRKSK32ank
3. One of the two sources should be the textbook Textbook: Larry Siegel, Criminology: The Core, Seventh Edition (U. of Mass.: Cengage, 2019, 2017).
ISBN: 978-1-337-60693-6
4. The two Theories to explain are (1) Self Control Theory and (2)Deterrence and Rational Choice Theory
Instructions:
Using at LEAST two theories we have discussed, I want you to attempt to explain the character’s behavior.
To do this, you should:
1. Locate a short clip of your character on YouTube (or a similar free platform) and paste the link into your paper (in case I haven’t seen the show/film).
2. Briefly summarize the character’s development as it relates to their criminal behavior (e.g., “Walter White was a low-paid math teacher, father of 2, and diagnosed with lung cancer,” etc.).
3. Identify the main tenets of the theories that may explain your character’s behavior(s).
4. Explain what information on the character aligns with these different tenets or aspects of the theory.
5. Finally, identify the drug policies or other criminal justice responses that may target people like Mr. White, based on the theory you chose. For example, if I was talking about Walter White, I might say that harsher penalties for manufacturing narcotics could have deterred Walter from continuing to engage in meth-cooking.
