In this paper I will evaluating the theoretical study of crime and crime causation by
examining the crime of an offender and applying a criminology theory discussing why the
offense occurred. The specific crime that I will be using for this paper is going to be about Alex
, and Derek King who were 12 and 13 when they murdered their father in their home with a
baseball bat in Florida and then burnt the home down. The theory that I feel would describe this
crime the best is rational choice theory and not how it was used properly it the sense that typical
normal reasonable thinking humans use it but how it might have been used by a couple of young
teenage boys might of used it when they are being influenced by an adult or someone who is
suppose to be protecting them. In this paper there will be multiple different points that I hit
involving this crime and the theory that I have chosen. The first point I will be hitting is I will
explain the theory in detail. The second topic I will be going over is I will discuss the theorist
responsible for coining the theory including the year the theory was created. The third topic I
will be discussing is I will describe the premise of the theory. The fourth topic I will be going
over is I will explain how it is applicable. The fifth point is I will discuss both the offender and
the crime in detail or in this case the offenders. Then lastly, I will discuss how the theory
explains the actions of the crime I have selected from the list about.
The first paper I am going to talk about is the actual crime itself involving Alex and
Derek King. The boys were brother that lived in Florida who at the time of the crime were aged
12 and 13. The story starts with the two brothers being controlled by a known sexual predator by
the name of Rick Chavis who had convinced the brothers that in order for the three of them to be
together they needed to get rid of their father Terry King (Alex and Derek King 2020). The night
the murder happened the two boys fatally beat Terry King to death using a baseball bat and then
afterward set the house of fire where initially it was believed he had died from smoke inhalation
but was quickly discovered it was from blunt force trauma.Once the trials were completed Derek
King would receive an eight-year sentence and Alex King would receive a seven-year sentence.
