B Block Criminology - Welcome to Criminology! Today we will go through the course outline package and see what crimes we have in store for the semester. In this course we look at crime theories and crime typology. The first three weeks of term 3 see us look at a general history of crime, big ideas about why people commit crime and thoughts on why people become victims of crime. The rest of the term then focuses on crime typologies: violent crimes; property crimes; white collar/enterprise/business crimes; organized/gang crimes; and crimes of a social nature (gambling, drug use, sex trade). Each week we spend Monday in the library working on an on-line crime blog while each Friday we'll watch an episode of CSI, Law & Order, Criminal Minds, White Collar, Leverage, Elementary or another crime television program (but there's always a question about what you watch). So...
Today, I have one question that I'd like you to brainstorm: Why do people commit crime?
After a few minutes I'd like you to partner up and get your ideas on a large sheet of paper. After you collect all of your ideas on large sheets of paper with smelly felts, I'd like you to cluster (group) your reasons why people commit crime into categories (emotions, poverty, culture, etc...) and see what biological factors and sociological factors may contribute to crime. We'll then share your ideas together as a class and see if there are any common ideas that we may have and we'll try to see where your clusters fit in terms of Choice, Trait, Social Structure, Social Learning, and Conflict theories
A & D Blocks Human Geography - Welcome to Human Geography...the second most important class you'll ever take in your life. Today we will go through the course outline package and become familiar with the routines and structures of room 611 (I still flat out refuse to call it room 115). We will take the class to orient ourselves to the curriculum and the course outline but I do have a task set out for you. It’s that time again – time to think about the very first day of school and how you want to help create an environment for risk and creativity. I’ll give you a hand out and then I'd like you to answer some questions that will set the stage for Human Geography this semester..
- What are you passionate about?
- How do you want to be recognized?
- What do you see as your greatest strength?
- What will a successful Human Geography class look and feel like at the end of the semester?
- What are the characteristics or attributes you want from me?
