Terrie Moffit Developmental Theory
Section 1: Theory of crime causation Terrie Moffitt, Developmental Theory
A. Theory and theorist description: What are the key points of the theory that you selected? Who developed theory? (note: choose only one theorist here) When was the theory developed? Why did the theorist develop this theory of crime causation?
B. Theory origin and context (social, political): What was going on at the time this theory was developed? Did these events help shape the theory?
C. Theory application to various types of crime: Is the theory you chose a general theory of crime causation (e.g. Sutherland’s theory of Differential Association), a middle range theory (e.g. A theory applied only to a specific group, such as juveniles, e.g. Cohen’s strain theory), or a crime-specific theory (e.g. homicide—southern violence hypothesis)?
Section 2: A Review of the Evidence
D. Has the theory been evaluated? If so, how, when, where, and by whom? To conduct your review, you will need to identify and summarize the results of research studies that have tested the theory under review. I have provided a Resource Folder, which includes several review articles for each of the theories we cover in class. I expect you to utilize this resource folder when writing your term paper. I also expect you to review the major criminology journals, which include Criminology, Annals of Criminology, Crime and Delinquency, Justice Quarterly, and the Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency. You will find a tutorial on how to access UML’s online library in the week 2 folder. You will have free access to journals in the UML library. If there is an article you cannot find at UMl, contact me and I will get it for you.
E. What does the research reveal? Note: I require the inclusion of table summarizing the key findings from your research review in a table with the following headings: Study author (year of publication); study sample size; research design type; key study findings (link between independent and dependent variables, e.g. unemployment and crime). I will provide examples of the review table format in the week 3 folder. This is a required element and needs to be included in your final paper; it is not needed for your outline submission.
F. What are the strengths and limitations of the theory? Does the theory need to be revised? Is more research needed?
Section 3: Policy Implications
A. According to the theory, how do we solve the crime problem? (note: for ideas, look at my weekly lectures, our text, and the journal, Criminology and Public Policy)
B. Have we tried to solve crime based on this theory? Here are a few examples: mandatory sentencing and deterrence theory; war on poverty and strain theory; diversion, decriminalization, deinstitutionalization, and labelling theory; culture change and subcultural theory; community organization and social disorganization theory.
C. What have we learned from these efforts? For example, what impact did the war on poverty have on crime? What about our war on drugs?
Term paper details: Your term paper should be about 15 pages of text (not including your references page and any tables you include, such as the research summary table), using standard ½ inch margins, 12 font, and double-spaced. Use subheadings throughout based on the above outline, and cite all sources using APA format.
At minimum, be sure to review the following journals to see if they include articles (2000- present) in your subject area: Criminology, Criminology and Public Policy, Justice Quarterly, Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, and Crime and Delinquency.

DISCUSSION FORUM PROMPT
You have been working as a nursing manager on a busy inpatient medical unit for the past four years. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, you have noticed a large increase in staff turnover and have experienced great difficulty in recruiting and retaining new staff to the floor. Staff that have been working on the unit prior to the start of the pandemic have confided in you that they are experiencing burnout due to working short-staffed almost daily. Some of your staff have expressed wanting to leave the profession entirely and others are actively looking for new nursing jobs. You do not want to lose the experienced staff you have and want to be successful at recruiting and retaining staff on the unit.
Please respond to the following questions:
- As the unit’s manager, what are some questions you can ask your staff that may help you develop strategies to address the increase in staff turnover?
- If you were the manager of this unit, what are some strategies you could use to increase recruitment and retention of staff? How would these strategies vary for different age groups?
- How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted nursing recruitment and retention in your experience? Please share one effective or innovative evidence-informed strategy that leaders are using in your workplace to recruit and retain nurses?

Family Violence Policy Brief
A Policy Brief is intended to inform a non-specialist, non-academic audience about a key issue: the language should be clear and concise; and the evidence should be solid. Policy Briefs are developed to inform governments, civil societies or other key stakeholders about an emerging issue, or to clarify an area of social concern that is unclear. They can make suggestions about changes required to service provision or to legislation.
