Based on chapter 7 of the textbook (I've attcahed as a file), 

Select a theory category (Anomie, Social Process, Social Control, or DLC)

Outline one theory discussed under the section you choose. Be sure to: define the theory, outline a critique, and relate it back to the category that theory falls under.

Use your chosen theory to explain a potential policy decision (criminal or social) that could reduce crime or criminal outcomes. Feel free to use an example if it helps illustrate the policy decision.
