Assignment task:
Durkheim's Theory of Anomie in Relation to the Covid-19 Pandemic
Strain Theory and the Functions of Crime
Do the following for each of the 6 dated forum discussion topics: Using the Brock library, search for one academic article (e.g., scholarly journal article or book chapter) and then also identify one cultural item (news or magazine article, image, video, podcast, blog item, etc.). The cultural item must be accessible to everyone; for example, do not post items that exist behind a pay wall, require a subscription, or an account (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, etc.). Your post should begin by clearly identifying both items: For the academic article include the reference (APA format) and for the cultural item include the applicable title and the link or source to where it can be found. This information will then be followed by the content of your post where you will succinctly assess and clearly demonstrate how the academic article and cultural item relates and connects to a specific concept or a particular idea discussed in lecture and/or the applicable reading(s) for the date in question. Excluding the references to the journal article and the cultural item, the content of your post should be between 175 and 200 words. The substance of your post should seek to answer the basic objective of this exercise: How does the content of your post help us to further understand a key concept or idea related to criminology?
