DUE: NLT June 22     
POINTS: Up to 15 
LENGTH: About 1,000 words (4-5 pages)

We are examing types of crime and have argued that some are more
costly than others.

In this paper, you do the following:

What are the annual costs of the following crimes:

     1. Domestic violence
     2. Shoplifting
     3. Vehicle theft
     4. Corporate Crime 
     5. Credit card fraud
     6. Robbery

YOU MUST CITE YOUR SOURCES

Rank each in terms of costs and discuss which you think is the greatest
social problem (note: Costs may not necessarily be the best indicator
of the problem - that's for YOU to decide).

Then, say something profound (related to text and lectures) about the
crimes (drawing from lectures and text).
