evaluate the theoretical study of crime and crime causation by examining the crime of an offender and applying a criminological theory discussing why the offense occurred.
Offenders commit crimes for different reasons. Criminological theories attempt to explain why crimes occur. For the Final Paper, you will evaluate the theoretical study of crime and crime causation by examining the crime of an offender and applying a criminological theory discussing why the offense occurred. You must discuss both the offender and the crime in detail. Additionally, you must research the criminological theory to be used; discuss the theorist responsible for coining the theory, the year it was created, the premise of the theory, and how it is applicable. Below is a list of offenders that were reported in the media as a result of the heinous nature of their offense. Select one of the offenders, and research their crime. You may only use scholarly sources when citing in your paper. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source. First, select an offender from the list of offenders. Offenders Then, select one theory from the list.

SOCW 6351: Social Policy, Welfare, and Change Week 8Top of FormDiscussion: Social Policy: Child Abuse and NeglectProtecting children from abuse and neglect is a cornerstone of the social work profession. Social work professionals strive to ensure that children grow into healthy, well-developed adults. They also develop, implement, and evaluate policy initiatives regarding child welfare. Such initiatives should aim to not only reduce child abuse and neglect, but also provide support for children’s development and resources that will enhance their well-being. As a social worker, to what extent do you understand the existing policies addressing child abuse and neglect? In addition, how prepared are you to propose new policy initiatives in this regard?For this Discussion, review the resources, including the NASW’s policy statement on child abuse and neglect on the NASW website. Pick one of the NASW positions and consider a policy initiative you would introduce to further that initiative. Be sure to think about the policies that already exist in your state and how this initiative might alter existing policies.Post by Day 3 a brief description of the position you selected from the NASW policy statement on child abuse and neglect. Then, describe a policy initiative you might introduce to further that position. Finally, describe the policies that already exist in your state and explain how your initiative might alter these existing policies.Bottom of FormLearning ResourcesWeek 8: Child Welfare Policy IIPolicies in any domain determine what can and cannot be done within that domain, and social work is no exception. Social workers need to be prepared to assume and maintain leadership roles in public discussions about policies, programs, and services affecting children and their families. In fact, the social work profession’s role as a voice for children, their families, their education, and their future was a key element in its development—and it is as vital today as it has been at any other time in history.How do you think understanding and being able to analyze policies in social work could help you as a social worker? Could you operate within the guidelines of policies without thoroughly understanding them? Could you propose amendments to existing policies or argue for new policies without being able to analyze the existing policies?This week, you analyze the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) child welfare initiatives, as well as past and current social policy related to a social issue you select. You also identify funding levels associated with a specific welfare policy.Required ReadingsNASW. (2009). Social work speaks. Washington, DC: NASW Press.Child Welfare Information Gateway. (n.d.)

Write an essay (1,500-1,750 words) in which you will explore cognitive effort and skill acquisition.
There are many factors that influence skill acquisition, learning, and practice such as observational learning, augmented feedback, practice schedules, and organization. Furthermore, much effort in motor production lacks cognition especially when a performer repeatedly executes a complex motor task (such as a golf swing on the driving range). The performer shifts from a planned execution of the skill to a more automatic process in which action requires little cognitive effort. This assignment will allow you to explore questions surrounding skill acquisition such as the consequence of practice that requires little cognitive effort, the importance of cognitive effort as a function in skill acquisition, and methods for manipulating practice or the learning environment to increase cognitive effort without overwhelming the learner.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
Directions: Write an essay (1,500-1,750 words) in which you will explore cognitive effort and skill acquisition.

ALL dissertations should include the following
Cover sheet –
Title Page
Abstract – The abstract should not be longer than
300 words. It should indicate the nature and scope of the work, outlining the research problem, key issues,
findings and your conclusion/recommendations. It should be included immediately after the title page and it
will be examined as part of the dissertation.
Table of Contents – An outline of the whole project in list form, setting out the order of the sections, with
page numbers. It is conventional to number the preliminary pages (abstract, table of contents) with lower case
Roman numerals (i.e. (i), (ii), (iii) etc.) and the main text pages (starting with the first chapter) in Arabic
numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) as shown below.

List of Figures ii
List of Abbreviations iii
Acknowledgements iv
Chapter 1 (Title) 1
1.1 (First Section heading)
1.2 (Second etc.)
1.3 (Third)
List of tables and figures – You can present a list at the beginning of your dissertation/ project of the tables
and figures you have included.
Tables and figures should be clearly and consistently numbered, either above or below the table or
figure. Each table and figure should have a separate heading (caption). The reader should be able to
understand what the table or figure is about from this heading / caption without referring to the text for
explanations. The numbers of the tables and the figures you use in the text and in the lists at the beginning
should correspond exactly.
Diagrams, figures, tables, and illustrations should be incorporated into the text at the appropriate place, unless
there is a series of them or they are continually referred to throughout the text. In this case they should be placed in appendices at the end of the work. You are advised to use a drawing package for diagrams and scan
in other illustrations.
References A list of references should be included at the end of the dissertation and should list, alphabetically,
all the sources (including magazines and newspapers) that you have consulted. Books should be listed as:
Author (surname then initials); title, edition, publisher, date. Other sources such as journals, magazines, and
newspapers should be treated in a similar fashion. If sources are used which are not written in English then
the English translation is required in the list of references.
Appendices – these should not contain material which is not used or referred to in the text. Similarly,
illustrative material should not be included unless it is relevant, informative, and referred to in the text.
