Final Paper:

- Complete a research paper covering both theories – present the histories, main ideas, examples of how they explain deviant behaviors, etc.
- Compare and contrast the two theories.
- Create your own example of deviance and apply both theories to your example.
- Using your example, identify which social work interventions you could use to help the person in need.
