What are the main elements or criteria of a “good” theory? Of the theories discussed in this course, identify one theory that meets your criteria and one theory that fails to meet your criteria. Using your criteria, go through each of the two theories and support your views using information and citations from the course readings. Consider whether the theories have been properly evaluated, how well they explain victimization and criminal behavior, what empirical evidence supports the theories, and if there are real-world policy implications that have been developed from the theories.
Lifestyle Theory is my “good” theory and Dependency Theory as my “Bad” Theory.
