Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to: Module Outcome 1: Assess the evolution of historical schools of thought to contemporary criminological theories. (CO1,2,5) Module Outcome 4: Critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of social disorganization theories. (CO2,5) Module Outcome 5: Apply those theories to contemporary criminal justice issues. (CO1,2,5) We have read about several criminological perspectives that try to link crime patterns and trends to broader economic conditions. This discussion forum will have you apply that knowledge to the situation in the United States. In particular, you will use what you know about the current state of research on crime and economic conditions to predict movement in U.S. crime rates. In the summer of 2011, there were fears that the United States was headed toward a double-dip recession. Read this USA Today new story about the state of the U.S. economy at that time: Patterson, S.
