APA ESSAY WRITER
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
learn more about a group or organization that is actively trying to address the social problem of crime.
Getting Started:
Find an organization that works to study, reduce, or prevent crime and spend time researching their website. Pick something that interests you! You could research an organization that addresses crime in general. Or you could look at an organization that focuses on one type of crime (e.g., hate crime, child abuse, sexual assault, homicide, white collar crime), one angle to crime (e.g., gun violence, prison gangs, violence against women, crimes in schools), or one specific group (e.g., men, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, children). The organization may be local, national, or international.
Instructions:
Answer as many of the following questions as you can (some may not answerable depending on the organization). You certainly can add information that does not directly tie to these questions.
1. What is your organization and how is it connected to the social problem of crime?
2. What did you learn about crime (e.g., statistics, patterns) by exploring the organization’s website?
3. What is the philosophy of this organization? What are their goals? How to they seek to reach their goals?
4. What are their claims about the causes of crime and the best policy to create positive change?
5. Whom do they serve? What are their targets? Does this organization limit the scope of the work they are doing or is it quite broad?
6. Are there specific examples of changes this organization has accomplished? Any failures?
7. What hurdles or challenges might the organization face?
8. What are your overall thoughts on, or reactions to, the work they are doing?
Important Note: Don’t just copy and paste from the website. Use your own voice when describing the organization.
