Assignment 1 Racial profiling is the theory or concept

Each PowerPoint project will consist of FIVE slides ONLY (no more, no less)

• The first side will include: your name, the name of the class, and the name of concept or theory you chose (or some type of title indicating what your project is about).
• The second slide will include: the name of the concept/theory you chose, its definition (with book citations) and sentence or two about why this is an important concept to you.
• The third slide will include: at least one screenshot of an image from a NEWS SOURCE that represents the concept you chose. For instance, if your concept is crime and immigration, you will go to a reputable news source (i.e. not InfoWars or Buzzfeed News) and find an image that represents immigration and crime. You’ll screenshot it so that I can see the source and insert it into Slide 3 on your PowerPoint (more than one is fine, but there must be at least one image). Then, you’ll write at least a paragraph, on that slide, explaining why this image (or images) represents the concept in relation to the definition.
• The fourth slide will include: at least one screenshot of an image from SOCIAL MEDIA that represents the concept you chose (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, etc.). You’ll screenshot it so that I can see the source and insert it into Slide 4 on your PowerPoint (more than one is fine, but there must be at least one image). Then, you’ll write at least a paragraph, on that slide, explaining why this image (or images) represents the concept in relation to the definition.
• The fifth slide will include: an image YOU TOOK YOURSELF that represents the concept you chose. This will be a photo you actually took somewhere around town that represents the concept. For instance, this could be a picture of a bumper sticker, a sign, a building, a business, etc. Then, you’ll write at least a paragraph, on that slide, explaining why this image (or images) represents the concept in relation to the definition.

*Note: screenshots are important here. Don’t simply right click and save an image. Take an actual screenshot for your news or social media image so I can see the context and source. If you don’t know how to take a screenshot, Google it.

Assignment 2 Write one paragraph answering the question below

Assignment 3 Answer prompt in 250 words or more

Prompt 1

It is well-established in the literature that males commit more crimes than females and that gender-based differences persist over the life course. While it is possible that gender-based disparity in criminality reflects differences in socialization, parental control, and other social phenomenon, we also know that there are possible psychological and biological variances between the sexes.

Discuss whether biology/psychology, socialization/upbringing, or an interaction between the two is the main cause of gender-based differences in adolescent misbehavior.
