[Order Now]

At the end of this document is a list of infamous criminals that can be used for this presentation. You are to pick one you would like to research and learn more about. You are going to create a Powerpoint presentation in order to share the portrait of this criminal.

You will need to not only create your Powerpoint slides but you also need to complete the notes underneath the slide. The notes should consist of the script you would use if you were going to be presenting this live to a class. When your professor reads your notes he or she should feel as if he or she was seeing the presentation live.

The areas to include in your presentation are as follows:

Introduction: Introduce your criminal. What is his/her name? What crimes did he/she commit? What was he/she convicted for?
Risk Factors: Based on your review of the research, identify at least three risk factors the individual showed early in life that may have predisposed him/her to criminal behavior. Remember these can be developmental, biological or learning and situation factors that may have contributed to the individual becoming a criminal. You should identify risk factors from at least two of these areas.
Classification of Criminal: Identify what type of criminal he/she would be considered based on the various categories we have studied throughout the semester. Provide evidence of at least two reasons why the person would be classified in the category you have placed them.
Theory: Choose a theory that can possibly explain why this individual became a criminal. This can include a discussion of what their motivation may have been for the crimes and/or how a theory of aggression might apply to the individual.
Conclusion: Conclude your presentation with a brief discussion of where he/she is now. Is the person still incarcerated? If so, where? Is he/she filing appeals to overturn court decisions? Is he/she up for parole soon? If the person is deceased how and when did that happen?

In order to complete this presentation, you are to use academic resources to find your information. This can include books, journal articles, court records or government websites. It should NOT include websites such as Wikipedia or any other websites where the information cannot be verified as accurate. If you are in doubt of the quality of a reference and if you should use it or not please as your professor.

You should create a Powerpoint presentation to present the information in the six bullet points above. You should have a title slide as well as a slide with your references placed in proper APA format.

Please refer to the following rubric regarding the weights of each portion of the assignment and how you will be graded overall on the project:
