Different essays depict different colours. Its needs and demands to the students proffer unhurried attention, preferably a sideway glance. Unless deadlines loom like dark rainy clouds in their lazy afternoons, students would rash to pick the essay assignment only to get dismayed by its befuddling requirements. Not with a criminology essay.
Criminology is not just fleetingly exciting as it is in television programs or films with heart-stopping shooting scenes or pounding kicks. The same effect can be observed even in the most boring-perceived task of writing essay.
What should make a good criminology essay? Two ingredients needed to be tossed in the essay cauldron:
A. Cause – Every crime has its starting point; before it reached its finish line, preceding events had led to the conception and actualisation of the crime -- this every criminology student know. Regardless of the pettiness or weight of those causes, they exist. It is not sufficient to just let the students glue all the details prior to the crime; they have to establish the logic, the instinct and the reason behind what transpired.
B. Consequence – After the hard labour pooled to do the history work on the essay, students are expected to do the same to wrap up the impacts of the crime’s aftermath.
This part should at least comprise of the accounting of damages done to property, people, or both; corresponding charges; and verdict, which could be either swift or not.
An essay may not be a student’s cup of tea; but a criminology essay can be an interesting beverage offering a taste of crime, either in fiction, or reality. In the instructors’ position, the essay permits them to see the analytical thinking that develops in the criminology students giving them room to decide about proceeding to more advanced lessons, or giving catch-up sessions.
