- Cultural boundaries follow the distribution of cultural features.
- Geometric boundaries are based on human constructs, such as straight lines.
- Physical boundaries coincide with significant features of the natural landscape.
You'll have two charts and some questions to complete for me.
C Block Criminology 12 - Since you chose this option, today we'll watch a Fifth Estate episode called "The Unrepentant", from the CBC Fifth Estate website...
They are marked by their ability to kill without passion and without remorse. Some are called psychopaths - a term that evokes nightmare images of murderers and monsters. But the label can also apply to men and women who are successful, intelligent, charismatic, charming and amusing - and so all the more dangerous. This week on the fifth estate, Linden MacIntyre looks at what makes a psychopath through the fifth estate's close encounters with of four of Canada's most frightening criminals.
The fifth estate begins with "Lightning" Lee, a former kick-boxer who brutally victimized women and children who was described as a "textbook psychopath." The other criminals MacIntyre takes on didn't outwardly seem to be the type - the respected commander of an air force base, Russell Williams; and Karla Homolka, who convinced police and a psychiatrist she was a victim, even though she helped her husband assault and kill young girls, including her own younger sister. Finally, MacIntyre revisits the harrowing story of two teenaged friends who conspired to murder one of their families and were caught in a controversial RCMP sting. They are all disordered personalities, whose lack of empathy and shame inspires both fear and fascination.
Don't forget I'd like you to:
Explain the types of serial and mass murderer along with the reasons why they commit these crimes.
"It is clear that the CSI effect is a real phenomenon. However, media perceptions of its effects may be misleading. Rather than leading to injustice through increased scepticism of forensic evidence that incriminates the accused, the CSI effect may promote injustice more through encouraging jurors to unquestioningly accept whatever forensic evidence they are presented."When finished we'll discuss the disparities between television "serialized" fictional CSI and the real world (In Canada the RCMP have a Forensic Science and Identification Services FS&IS division).
A Block Law 12 - Today we'll watch an episode of Law & Order from season 9 (episode 1) called "Cherished". From tv.com:
After a baby girl is found dead, Briscoe and Curtis investigate the family and learn that her adopted family and brother were trying to keep some painful secrets. Jack gets a new partner, Abbie Carmichael, who had a 95% percent success rate in her four years with Special Narcotics. Together McCoy and Carmichael try to prove that the little girl's brother committed the crime
The episode deals with some pretty heavy stuff (child abandonment and fraud) and to see a real life example check out the Pravda news article here. The real life case surrounds a couple who adopted a child from a Russian orphanage and a decision was handed down in the case in 2008. From the Salt Lake Tribune:
A Tooele Utah mother who admitted to killing a 14-month-old boy she and her husband adopted from Russia was sentenced Friday to prison for up to 15 years. Kimberly K. Emelyantsev, 34, who had pleaded guilty to second-degree felony child-abuse homicide in the death of Nicoli Emelyantsev, offered a tearful apology in 3rd District Court.
I'll have you be the judge for the Law and Order episode and I'll ask you to make a decision about Dr. Andrei Kostov, Megan Connery and /or Edward Connery.
