Friday, September 21. 2018

Today's schedule is BADC

B Block Criminology - Today you have time to complete yesterday's questions:

  • Briefly outline and explain the patterns we've identified in victimization (social ecology, household, personal characteristics and repeat victimization) 
  • Explain and compare the three theories of crime victimization 
Then, we'll watch the Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit episode "Closure" This episode deals with the short and long-term effects of a sexual assault on a victim.

From TV.com "Benson does her best to help a rape victim who is able to describe her attack in perfect detail, yet unable to properly identify her attacker when push comes to shove. When the detectives revisit the case a few months later, they find the woman even less willing to talk about what  happened, as she claims she has moved on."

I want you to think hard during this episode and pay careful attention to what happens with Harper's character as it will form a base for your blog entry on Monday.

Try to take notes and have a discussion on what the short and long term impacts the sexual assault had on the character Harper in the episode.


A & D Blocks Human Geography - Today and Monday we're in the library looking at the 2018 World Population Data (using both the PRB Interactive Map and the pdf data sheet) to see current trends and numbers in world population. You have a webquest with questions in your week 3 work package to answer. You may work with a partner to find answers to the 17 questions but you all need to record answers. Use:

2018 World Population Data Map
2018 World Population Datasheet

For the last question you'll need to choose one of the following demographic variables using the World Population Data Sheet and create a choropleth map showing the distribution of that indicator on a world outline map. The PRB World Population Data map is an example of a Choropleth Map. Use it to help you create yours, just select the indicator you wish to create and it will make a choropleth map that you can recreate.

Infant Mortality
Birth Rate
Death Rate
Total Fertility Rate
Life Expectancy

The instructions are in the week 3 package but feel free to ask me in class today or Monday. Good luck!
