The paper should discuss how your theories explain the evidence in the book. You should apply the concepts and propositions from the theories you choose to particular findings and examples from the book. Make sure that your discussion is at the correct level of analysis (e.g. micro-level or macro-level).
A good suggested structure (though you dont have to do it this way, if you think of another way that works):
Overview of the book and describing your theories and its overall relevance to the book. (1-2 pages)
Specific discussion applying concepts from your theories to the data and analysis in the book. Are the theories supported or not by the data? (2-3 pages)
Think about how you might collect data to test the theory you chose in understanding patterns of urban violence today and in the future. What kind of data would you want (quantitative or qualitative) and how would you collect it (surveys, historical data, interviews, administrative data). State the hypotheses connected to your chosen theory and then propose how you would analyze the data to test if your hypotheses were supported or not. (2-3 pages) (hint: make sure data is at the same level as your theories).
Discuss the limitations or challenges of your proposed study. How feasible is it? (1 page)
Conclude with a brief summary of your argument and what you learned about your theory by applying them to the book. (1-2 pages)
