A Block Physical Geography - Today in class we’ll continue our look at tectonics and plate boundaries. We'll finish yesterday's video and then you'll need to work a question on the effects of the Juan de Fuca plate and ridge just off our shores

Use the Geosystems Core text Part III: The Geosphere: Earth’s Interior & Surface

8.4 Plate Tectonics (p.223)

8.5 Seafloor Spreading & Subduction Zones (p. 224-5) and

8.6 Plate Boundaries (p. 226-7) *look at "The Mechanisms of Plate Motions" on p. 226 to help explain the movement (ridge push / slab pull) in the Juan de Fuca / Cascadian Subduction Zone

Also, use the links on the blog from the past two days (and below) for help. I'll come around and help where needed.

B Block Criminology - Today, I'd like you to read finish up your questions about Victim trends, Victim Theories, and Victim Blaming/shaming from Friday, last week:

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 use Risk factors affecting victimisation rates for violent crime and theft

Remember use the videos on the blog I gave to help. After we'll look at the question, "Where does violence and violent crime come from"? We'll examine personal traits, ineffective families, evolutionary factors, exposure to violence, cultural values, substance abuse, and firearm availability to see if they are factors that lead to violent crime in Canada.
