Step 2: Write Your Analysis Once you have chosen the crime you would like to research from the right-hand column above, provide an introduction that gives an overview of the extent of the problem. In the introduction, define your crime. Then, consider the following questions to convey how this crime impacts society in the U.S. You do not have to answer all these questions, but they are ideas to consider when conveying the nature and extent of the crime: . How many cases of this crime occur each year? . Has the crime rate for this crime been increasing or decreasing in recent years? . Are certain people more likely to engage in this type of crime or be the victims of this type of crime? You must use one outside source to research and explain the nature and extent of your chosen crime. Use credible sources (e.g., textbooks, academic journals, or websites that end in .org, .gov, or edu). Avoid non-credible sources such as social media or Wikipedia. When referencing this source in your response, include an in- text citation using APA format. See the APA Style: Citation Help resource for guidance. Here are some websites that you could investigate for your external source: . Bureau of Justice Statistics . Federal Bureau of Investigation . National Crime Victimization Survey . National Incident Based Reporting System . Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Next, choose one specific theory discussed throughout the course and apply it to your crime
