D Block Physical Geography - Today you need to finish up all of your tectonics work because you have a test tomorrow. So:
- Tectonics work/notebook (including Dante's Peak questions);
- Hawai'i Kai Topographic map lab; and
- Orting Community College project
C Block Human Geography - Don't forget you have a test tomorrow on population, development, migration and basic concepts). Today we continue with our Key Question, "Where are Folk and Popular Material Culture Distributed?" I'm hoping that you are seeing some consistent themes in Human Geography this year. Remember that folk culture is traditionally practiced primarily by small, homogeneous groups living in isolated rural areas while popular culture is found in large, heterogeneous societies. Folk culture is influenced heavily by the environment that it develops in while popular culture depends less on the environment because it diffuses on a larger scale (globalization). With the larger globalized scale of popular culture (becoming more dominant), the survival of unique folk cultures is threatened...This is one of the themes I hope you are starting to see.
So...Customs in folk culture (such as provision of food, clothing, and shelter) are clearly influenced by the prevailing climate, soil, and vegetation (utilizing localized resources). Today we'll finish the Anthony Bourdain episode from yesterday on Hawaii and food .You'll have some questions to work on for me
B Block Criminology - Today, in class, we have a quiz on violent crime and you may use notes I've given to help. After the quiz, You work for the Retail Council of Canada and have been hired to create a poster campaign about shoplifting. The poster campaign has two purposes:
- To help employees identify people who are shoplifting and
- To explain how to reduce shoplifting in stores (target hardening and target removal strategies)
Look at the bullet points on page 228-229 in the Criminology text for help. Here are some further ideas and points.....
Spot the Shoplifter: Unfortunately, there is no typical profile of a shoplifter. Thieves come in all ages, races and from various backgrounds. However, there are some signs that should signal a red flag for retailers. While the following characteristics don't necessarily mean guilt, retailers should keep a close eye on shoppers who exhibit the following:
- Spends more time watching the cashier or sales clerk than actually shopping.
- Wears bulky, heavy clothing during warm weather or coats when unnecessary.
- Walks with short or unnatural steps, which may indicate that they are concealing lifted items.
- Takes several items into dressing room and only leaves with one item.
- Seems nervous and possibly picks up random items with no interest.
- Frequently enters store and never makes a purchase.
- Enters dressing room or rest rooms with merchandise and exits with none.
- Large group entering the store at one time, especially juveniles. A member of the group causes a disturbance to distract sales staff.

A Block Legal Studies - Today we'll talk about the duties of police officers. From the All About Law textbook:
Police officers often have to make quick decisions to save lives - their own as well as others. They have to act reasonably because they are held responsible for their conduct and behaviour when carrying out their duties. If they break the rules of police conduct, their evidence may be refused, which can result in an acquittal. In rare situations, the officers involved can be charged under criminal law or sued under civil law (Murphy, Elliott, Mete and Glass; 2009)
A black person is killed by a police officer in America at the rate of more than one every other day. Floyd’s death followed that of Breonna Taylor, shot at least eight times inside her Louisville, Ky., home by plain-clothes police executing a no-knock warrant. From 2015 to 2019, according to statistics compiled by the Washington Post, police shot and killed 962 to 1,004 Americans each year. Black Americans are nearly three times as likely as white people to be killed by police, according to the database Mapping Police Violence.
We'll talk about the rights of police officers in Canada and in connection to the George Floyd case and we'll work on questions 2, 3 & 4 from page 154 of the AAL text.
Chapter 17.1 of the RCMP’s operational manual sets out guidelines for use of force by officers. It includes a requirement that officers use lethal force “only when preventing death, or the threat of death, or grievous bodily harm to peace officers and the public, and when no lesser means is appropriate.” The RCMP also requires officers to complete a Subject Behaviour/Officer Response, or SBOR report, each time they use force on the job. The RCMP does have a use of force diagram called the “Incident Management/Intervention Model” (IMIM) that officers are trained to use as they determine what level of force is appropriate for a given situation however the IMIM does not include any detail about specific situations or use-of-force options..
