Your written paper for this course will demonstrate your understanding of various theories of juvenile delinquency and what you have read in “All God’ Children” author Fox Butterfield.
In a 4-5 page paper you will need to apply strain theory, social learning theory, control theory, and labeling theory to Willie Bosket’s situation. In other words, discuss how each theory can explain how Willie became a juvenile delinquent. After you have applied each theory choose one of the four theories that you feel best explains Willie’s juvenile delinquency and explain why you feel this way. Or, if you have another theory, discuss and explain that theory. Finally, offer some ideas/solutions as to how Willie’s life of delinquency could have been avoided. Or, do you think Willie was destined for a life of crime? If your answer is yes, what factors make you believe this?
