Today's schedule is BADC
B Block Human Geography - Today we'll talk about the arrangement of people and activities found in space and try to understand why those people and activities are distributed the way they are. We'll figure out what
density, distribution, concentration and
pattern have to do with people an activities on the Earth's surface. Along with this we'll look at
connections, diffusion, interaction and hearths in order to see how people and activities impact and are impacted by each other (through spatial interaction and networks). I'll have some definitions for you to work on for me.
A & D Blocks Legal Studies - Today we'll start by finishing up yesterday's work on
R. v. Kerr, 2004, and
Grant v. Dempsey, 2001. We'll discuss the "rule of law" and then we'll watch an episode of
Law & Order. We'll watch "By Perjury" from season 19 (January 2009). A plaintiff in a class-action suit against an airline is murdered. Assistant District Attorney Cutter finds himself pitted against a lawyer whose manipulation of the legal system keeps letting him get away with murder, and Detective Lupo's mistake risks both the case and Cutter's life.
C Block Criminology - So, yesterday we came up with a list of things that are deviant but not criminal and a list of things that are criminal but not deviant. Today, I need to take one act from either list and explain why it should be criminalized or why it should be decriminalized. This should be based on an evaluation of harm...in other words how deviant or not is the action? If the action would cause great social harm then perhaps we should criminalize that behaviour. If the action causes minimal social harm then perhaps we should decriminalize that behaviour. So, I'm looking for you to justify your response and you may use the text for help if you need it.This will help us understand the Conflict, Interactionist and Consensus views on crime.
