There are three discussion questions. you will use the same instructions for the first two. I only need 450 words for discussion 1 and 2. Make sure that the citations are not included in the count. For discussion 3 use the remaining 200 words. Please answer the following question(s). Answers need to be thorough and complete – a minimum of 500 words. You may want to type your answer up in a Word document to check for this. Posts that are merely a few sentences long will not receive full credit. Please edit your posts for spelling and grammar mistakes. You must also demonstrate to me that you have read the text by incorporating facts and information from your weekly reading into the discussion. This is not an assignment that you can type up something off the top of your head. All three discussion posts (original and response posts) must be in your own words. You are not allowed to copy and paste any of your discussions from any other source (ex: website, textbook, other student, etc.). If you use outside information, you must cite that information using APA citation style. Please see the Discussion Assignment Grading Rubric for more information. This assignment is worth a total of 20 points. Discussion Question 1: Identify and discuss key legislation that has impacted the rights and services provided for the physically and mentally disabled.

Criminological theories provide explanations for why people commit crime or delinquent acts. Choose one specific theory from Chapters 3-5 to explain the crime you chose in #1.
