Artefact 2 requires that students write a report in response to a criminal event

Artefact 2 requires that students write a report in response to a criminal event/offence type (see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/30/teenager-and-man-killed-in-triple-stabbing-in-north-london-archway-islington) . Use the offence type introduced, you are required to recommend a criminal justice response for the offence. The focus can be on the offender(s), the victim(s), the police/courts, or the prison or probation service. 
The report will have 4 components:
Summary of the case study
An explanation for why this offence happened using a psychological theory/approach 
Identification of an alternative psychological theory that could be used to explain the offence 
Evidence-based recommendations for practice based on your chosen focus – so if you are looking at the offender, what are the treatment/punishment recommendations? If you are looking at the police/courts, what needs to be considered when prosecuting? If you are looking at the victim, how can we support them through the criminal justice system and beyond?
