Find and select three written news stories about crimes
that occurred from three cities in the United States. Look for detailed print news stories
from newspapers, news agencies, or social news sources that focus on the same type of
crime, e.g., murder, robbery, assault, etc. Each story should report a separate crime
incident. If you access online, try to .pdf the news stories and include them as an
attachment. You might need to copy and paste. If you use hard copy newspapers, copy
and fasten each news story to 8.5 by 11-inch paper and create a .pdf. Using yellow
highlighter, or multiple highlighter colors if you choose, identify the key information
about the crimes reported in each story (you can do this electronically if you choose).
You should carefully highlight what you see as the important information. Stepping
back, how do you see the news stories being constructed for the reader? What are the
common forms of information reported in all the stories? What is reported in one or
some stories, but not all? What kind of words are used to describe the crimes that
occurred? Be sure to put words you note in “quotes.” What kind of information do you
think is missing that the public ought to know? Is there any information in any story that
potentially “grabs” the reader, also any information that might be confusing or
misleading? Next, drawing from class materials and/or the assigned reading, select and
apply two theories that you think might explain why the type of crime found in the news
stories you selected occurs. Mere mention or listing of the theories is insufficient. You
must provide a one paragraph coherent discussion of each theory and the argument about
what drives crime for each. Precision and detail are important here. You should be
able to find public domain news stories. You are not expected to pay for access to
newspapers. Please Note: If you are unable to attach the news stories to your write-up
because of technology, then just provide the links to the stories you used. I need to be
able to see the news stories and the highlighting you did if possible. Please provide a
footnote explanation at the end of the writeup about the problems in this respect you
encountered.
