I’m working on a psychology report and need a sample draft to help me learn.

write minimum 2100 words

I will link this issue to the labeling theory because that theory ties in perfectly with this issue and will help us further understand deviant and criminal behavior. I will tie in the functionalist perspective with this issue because functionalists believe crime starts with society as a whole and can be beneficial for society. In my research I will include discussion on how and why crime can be beneficial for the society if it is a major social issue.

• What is the social problem that you plan to write about? Include Spector & Kitsuse’s 4-stage model. Please identify the problem. How many people does it affect (prevalence)? What are the causes–WHY does this social problem exist?
• What are its consequences to those afflicted? To society? Why is this an important social problem? Consequences both on a micro and macro scale.
• What are the “risk factors” associated with this problem (i.e. who is more likely to have this problem)? What is known about the consequences of this problem if left untreated?
• What are some possible solutions to alleviate this problem? What have other sociologists/researchers in the field proposed as a solution(s)?
• Apply sociological theories/concepts and use at least one sociological perspectives learned from the book and research to gain a better understanding of this problem.

GUIDELINES:

• Paper must be at least 7-9 typewritten pages (the actual content itself), double-spaced, 12 point font Times New Roman.

Hello again, https://open.lib.umn.edu/socialproblems/

that is the link to the book in case you need it, but its basically a research paper on all of the instructions I provided already

Also if you can link LABELING THEORY and the FUNCTIONALIST PERSPECTIVE to the topic, that would be great:)
