Assignment topic   Outline and critically evaluate the contributions of recent literature [published in the last 10 years] that seeks to explain a particular type of offending behaviour or action(s)from a specific psychological perspective (e.g. cognitive distortions, personality theories, neuropsychology, social learning, developmental risk factors etc.).   In your answer, you should show awareness of current debates and empirical findings, weighing the strengths and limitations of these studies (e.g. methodological issues, cultural applicability, over-reliance on certain populations etc.) and identifying their significance for future study and application to better understanding the offence in a British context.
