How Would You Go About Beginning the Following Essay Below and What Would You Include in It?
Question by conwayrockchick: How would you go about beginning the following essay below and what would you include in it?
This is the questions of my essay or essay title – At the End of Chapter 17 on Control, Crime and Deviance there is a box titled section 10: Engage with the Big Debate. In this section, there is a list of 10 possible social changes that may increase crime in Society. Select any 3 of these changes and evaluate their possible impact on influencing criminal behavior in Irish Society. Start with the assigned readings in the texts in this section on deviance (@302) and Crime (360s.
By the way this essay is a Soc and pol meaning (sociology with Politics) college level 8 essay.
The big debate section
– As labor markets become more casual and insecure and as more people enter the informal or underground economy, so people may start to survive. Crime, especially in the informal economy, may be one of these.
– As we witness the massive growth of the new information technologies, so we find new patterns of crime, from cybercrimes to mobile phone theft.
– As young people become a separate and often unsupervised age group, so their criminal activities and drug using propensities increase.
-As the electronic mass media such as film and television produce more and more images of crime and violence, so people find such lives more and more plausible.
Continue the debate
1 what problems do you find in measuring crime?
2 Is the evidence for the growth or decline in crime rates?
Are some crimes growing more than others? What kind of evidence do you need to support your arguments?

I need help please.
My deadline is this Friday afternoon.
I have 78o words done so far.
I said what Deviance is
I gave two types of theorists
I spoke about white color crime and Marxist’s view on crime.
I listed two categories for analysation of crime in statistics in Ireland which is serious and not so serious and I compared their rates and said how they changed.
I mentioned two types of theorists in terms of what is the cause of deviance. The theorists are a part of labeling theory which I did not define.
I made the point that robbery is the most common crime in Ireland and so is the white color crime which is the most serious crime in Ireland
What else can I do?
At the introduction I explained from my lecture notes what Deviance is and the topics or issues that I am going to discuss.
The introduction has very little in it. I just said the words of the issues.
I am not sure exactly what is expected of me in the essay and which information is essential and which information is not that important.
I can’t remember what else I wrote.
The words for the essay has to be 2000 but I have only got 780 words so far and don’t know how to break it down.
I can’t remember how to reference either or even what words or sentences I have to use to introduce or explain a quote. Some words are Furthermore and However, maintains and states but I can’t remember other words. What other words or sentences could I use for the quotes???
Please help me.
wb as soon as possible.
Thank you.

END THE WAR ON DRUGS FACTS AND STATISTICS – The Federal Government spends over billion dollars per year in the War on Drugs — almost 0 every second — and we have lost. The reason for this failure is that we are fighting the war on the wrong front. We have focused the battle on stopping the flow of illegal drugs, thinking that our enemy is the drug dealer or the addict. Law enforcement agencies make drug busts — big and small — taking product off the streets and putting dealers and addicts in jail. This doesn’t work because the addict still wants product there is always another drug dealer or pain clinic around the corner. The only true solution is to reduce demand — which means spending the money on Addiction Treatment. Scare tactics like the DEA report (www.usdoj.gov said that “Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations represent the greatest organized crime threat to the United States” and that “intelligence estimates indicate a vast majority of the cocaine available in US drug markets is smuggled by Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations across the US– Mexico border.” This type of report fuels the fire and encourages spending more and more money on drug interception — which doesn’t work — rather than substance abuse education, intervention and treatment — which has a much larger impact on demand. The same report also cited a 2007 study that “nearly 7 million Americans are abusing prescription drugs — more than the number who are abusing cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, Ecstasy, and inhalants, combined …
