B & D Blocks Social Studies 10 - Yesterday we looked at government propaganda- advertising that was used to entice Europeans to come to Canada and I gave you a comparison chart on the picture from page 242 and the poster from page 243 of the Horizons text. You'll need to work on that chart this afternoon. Lastly I'll need you to work on questions 1, 2, and 7  from page 257 of the textbook.

A Block Criminology 12 - Today, we'll begin our look at property crimes, where we'll discuss the history of theft and make sense of the differences between occasional and professional thieves. You'll need to answer the following:

What are the differences between a professional and an occasional thief?
What is a "situational inducement"?
What is a "Booster", a "Heel", and a "Fence"?

After, you'll need to work the following:

You work for the Retail Council of Canada and have been hired to create a poster campaign about shoplifting. The poster campaign has two purposes:

1. To help employees identify people who are shoplifting and
2. To explain how to reduce shoplifting in stores (target hardening and target removal strategies)

Look at figure 11.2 on page 257 in the Criminology text for help. Here are some further ideas and points.....

Spot the Shoplifter: Unfortunately, there is no typical profile of a shoplifter. Thieves come in all ages, races and from various backgrounds. However, there are some signs that should signal a red flag for retailers. While the following characteristics don't necessarily mean guilt, retailers should keep a close eye on shoppers who exhibit the following:

1. Spends more time watching the cashier or sales clerk than actually shopping.
2. Wears bulky, heavy clothing during warm weather or coats when unnecessary.
3. Walks with short or unnatural steps, which may indicate that they are concealing lifted items.
4. Takes several items into dressing room and only leaves with one item.
5. Seems nervous and possibly picks up random items with no interest.
6. Frequently enters store and never makes a purchase.
7. Enters dressing room or rest rooms with merchandise and exits with none.
8. Large group entering the store at one time, especially juveniles. A member of the group causes a disturbance to distract sales staff.

This will take the whole class to complete and will be handed in on Monday for marks. For more check out:
