Today's schedule is D-AG-C-B-A
D Block Law 9/10 -
Today we will start with our first quiz in the course then we'll continue looking at profiling and begin to understand what a psychopath is. Dr. Robert Hare
of the University of British Columbia created a checklist called the
PCL-R (Psychopathy Checklist Revised). Yesterday we examined
the "Unholy Trinity" of serial killer characteristics and today we'll finish our
video on how profiling was developed in the F.B.I. Behavioural Science Unit
(through the efforts of many highlighted by the work of John Douglas) today. The first part of the
video focuses on Wayne Williams and then looks at Robert Hansen. Don't forget that in Canada the
R.C.M.P. call the technique criminal investigative analysis. This will help us with tomorrow's project on serial killers...more on that
tomorrow.
C & A Block Social Studies 10 - Yesterday we looked at governor Douglas and discussed the Oregon Territory and the boundary dispute that led to
the 49th Parallel declared as the international border between Canada and the
United States of America (oh poor Point Roberts). Today we'll look at Fort
Victoria (1843) as well as the establishment of Vancouver Island as a colony
(1849). I'll have you work on the Douglas Treaties "Get to the Source" activity
questions along with question 2 from the bottom of page 212 in the Horizons
text.
B Block Law 12 - Today in Law we'll examine the court room and we'll look at the three court levels in
BC (Provincial, Supreme, and Appellate). After, 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. Next we'll look at the advantages of trial by jury and
understand the methods and challenges to jury selection. After we'll focus on the presentation of evidence (Crown first then Defence),
the rules of evidence (including voire dire), and types of evidence
(circumstantial, hearsay, privileged, and character). I'll have you work on
questions 1, 2 and 4 from page 200 as well as questions 1, 2 and 3 from page 207
of the All About Law text. For more on juries in BC check out Justice BC - What is Jury Duty?
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
