What is Peacemaking Criminology and how is it used within today’s criminal justice system?

While there is no minimum length, a good essay response frequently ranges from a minimum of 500 to 750 words each. Brief, and or incomplete essays will not fare well, nor will those with what appear to be good length but when reading it one concludes there is a lot of fluff (e.g., no and or little critical thought and or simply restating facts). Again I am looking for graduate level work/responses (e.g., making sense of the material, applying it to the real world, connecting the dots of what might appear to be unrelated data, etc). In short, critical thought is paramount and why I opted to make this exam non-timed.
2. Like content, adherence to, APA formatting (to include full references and in-text citations where appropriate), spelling (stated earlier above so this must be important), in-text citations, and word structure are all very important in your essay responses.
3. You will need to include no less than 2 outside peer reviewed sources to support each question.

1. First list and describe the main assumptions of Robert K. Merton’s Theory of Anomie. Then using this theory, explain why, in your view, white collar crime occurs/exists. Please make sure to fully defend your “supported” view regarding this question. Be specific and use literature to support your perspective.

2. What are “Chicago’s Concentric Zones” and how might they be used to explain the public’s fear of crime? Please be specific and use literature to support your perspective.

3. What is Peacemaking Criminology and how is it used within today’s criminal justice system? As part of your response, please defend your view in regards to whether or not Peacemaking Criminology should be used. Please be specific and use literature to support your perspective.

4. Compare and contrast the two primary crime data sources used in the United States, i.e., the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) and the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). The focus within your response should be centered on the methodological procedures and implications between the two crime data sources.
