Cite the book in listing the elements of the theory you utilize. If you do not think the police are utilizing neighborhood or social disorganization theories of crime, pick one other theory of crime we have discussed so far this semester and point to six instances in the documentary which you believe support the idea that the police are operating under this theory of crime.
The blog post will be graded on the thoroughness of the analysis, its citations, and the clarity of the writing.
