A Block Legal Studies - This morning, we'll watch the CBC documentary "The Fire Within" to see just one example of workplace harassment that women must face.
B Block Criminology - Today 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. What are the short and long term impacts on victims of Crime? 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. Finally remember, I'd like you to finish:
- 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
- What is victim blaming and what are its consequences?
- Why are some victims less likely to report the victimization they suffered?
- What can make a person more vulnerable for some type of crimes? Provide a few examples (and consider the most common crimes for this – Level One Assault and Theft Under $5000).
BC Ministry of Justice Crime Victim Assistance Program
Victim Link BC
National Office for Victims
Victim Services Corrections Canada
Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime
There is a good CBC article here on the costs associated with victims of violent crime.
C Block Human Geography - We're back in the learning commons/library looking at the 2021 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 series of questions to answer in your Unit 2 workbook and you may work with other people to accomplish this task if you'd like.
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 2 package but feel free to ask me in class today. Good luck!
D Block Physical Geography - I believe the words were "Straight up work block"
Get after it! I'll come around and help where needed.
