How do I apply a theory?
Theory is simply a & way of seeing
This assessment is asking you to apply a & way of seeing covered in another level 5 criminology module. In applying your chosen radical criminological theory you may (but do not have to) cover the following questions:

1) How useful and persuasive is the theory as an explanatory frame work for
your chosen topic?

2) Has the theory been adapted or does it require adaptation in order to fully explain
your chosen topic? Are there different &strains & of the theory and do these & apply & differently?

3) What underlying assumptions underpin the theory?
For example assumptions about human nature such as voluntarism or determinism.

4) Do these assumptions in turn have implications for the persuasiveness of the theory?

5) Can these limitations be overcome?

6) What policy flows from the theory?

7) Are you able to give examples of these policy implications such as case studies?

8) How effective is the policy?

How will my work be assessed?
