• Assess the role (briefly) that all three (biological, developmental, and situational) perspectives play in influencing criminal behavior.
• Choose one of the three perspectives (biological, developmental, or situational).
• Evaluate the relationship between your chosen perspective and criminal behavior.
• Illustrate a link between your client’s crimes and your chosen perspective based on the client you chose for your Comprehensive Case Study Report Final Paper.
