Cheating research paper
Is cheating a crime? If it is not a crime, is it the same as criminal behavior? If you steal someone’s car it is theft. If you steal someone’s words, what is it? This discussion is not new but technology has made it easy for students, or anyone, to easily find and use someone else’s work. Is cheating in college widespread? What can or should colleges do about it? The question I put to all of you for your research paper is, what should be done about all of this? What should happen to students who cheat? Look at the act of cheating while considering the concepts we learn in this class about crime, social control, criminological theory, and deterrence. Tell me how all of these things are related or similar and provide some proposed solutions.
