Day 56 - Wednesday December 1. 2010



C - Law 12 - Today we begin our look at courts and trial procedures. We'll look at the three court levels in BC (Provincial, Supreme, and Appellate) then we'll focus on courtroom organization and then we'll discuss the roles and responsibilities of the judge, the crown prosecutor, defense counsel, the court clerk, court recorder, and sheriff.

D - Geography 12 - Today we will finish the Air Highs & Lows of it activity from yesterday and then we'll look at atmospheric moisture, humidity, and the four atmospheric mechanisms that cool a parcel of air to its dew point & cause precipitation (orographic, convectional, frontal, and radiative cooling). You will complete questions 9 from page 211 and 21 & 23 from page 212 of your Geosystems textbook. While you are working on the questions I'll have the BBC DVD "The Weather" on for us to watch the wet episode.

A - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we'll start with your second quiz in the course. This quiz will be on the work you covered with Ms. Stoyles last week (on the differences between serial/mass murder; on psychopathy; and on the life course persistent criminal). After the quiz, we'll finish our look at geographic profiling that we started yesterday. To end the class, we'll begin our unit on crime scene procedures and we'll look at what the basic stages of a crime scene search are. The following are some great web pages to help understand the procedures:

Learning for Life Crime Scene Search study guide
U.S. Department of Justice Crime Scene Investigation guide
Criminal Profiling Crime Scene searches (FBI guidelines)
