For this assignment, you will put together a presentation of 10 slides minimum.

Your Presentation must explore the following:

1) Select a type of deviance that is ALSO a crime – that is, it is illegal. Describe this behavior and how it impacts society, giving solid statistical data to explain the scope of the problem.

2) Integrating information from the course readings and materials, how would a positivist explain the deviant behavior you selected?

3) Integrating information from the course readings and materials, how would a social constructionist explain the deviant behavior you selected?

4) Define TWO sociological concepts/theories from our course materials — OTHER than positivism or social constructionism — that relate to your example of deviance and analyze how these concepts/theories help to better understand the deviance you are discussing.

Note – Concepts may include ideas such as class, gender, race, ethnicity, stratification, disability, and many others — these are just examples. You need to choose concepts that make sense in your analysis. Sociological theories may include conflict theory, feminist theory, symbolic interactionism, functionalism and others. These are just examples; you need to choose theories that make sense in your analysis.

Note – you may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts Toolkit to be helpful (found in Announcements).

Do not use unverifiable, secondary sites such as Wikipedia, about.com, ask.com, and similar. Use our course materials, peer-reviewed journal articles from the library, and other scholarly sources.

Your presentation should utilize sound critical thought and full APA references at the end.

— TITLE SLIDE/SECTION (1 slide)

— BODY OF PRESENTATION WITH SUBHEADINGS (8 slides minimum)
