Are there theoretical constructs/mechanisms not adequately explained by Anderson’s theory?

Are there theoretical constructs/mechanisms not adequately explained by Anderson’s theory?

It will consist of an in-depth consideration and extension of Elijah Anderson’s Code of the Street. This paper should be a minimum of 4 pages, not to exceed 5 [not including title or reference page]. PART ONE: THEORETICAL SYNOPSIS (20 points) In this portion of the paper you should describe Anderson’s theory and situate within the appropriate theoretical paradigm. This is your opportunity to synthesize the theory as Anderson presents and specify its mechanismsand linking constructs. Be sure to include the following:•Discussion of the underlying assumptions of the theory. Name, define, and provide examples of the constructs or principles associated with this theory. Again, be as detailed as possible. Make use of the correct terminology. •Describe how these theoretical constructs describe the cause of criminal behavior (i.e., what is the process through which the constructs lead to crime?).PART TWO: CRITIQUING THE THEORY (20 points) •Discuss whether or not Anderson’s theory offers a good explanation of the criminal/delinquent behaviors in inner city communities. In this portion you should answer the following questions:oWhat theoretical constructs adequately address mechanisms linked with the causes of crime/delinquency? oAre there theoretical constructs/mechanisms not adequately explained by Anderson’s theory? Why?
