B Block Criminology - Today I'll have you work on three questions about crime trends:
- Using pages 37 to 46 in the CRIM textbook outline and explain the crime patterns in relation to ecology, firearms, social class, age, gender and race. You could also use the link Who Commits Crime? to help and although it's about Saskatchewan check out Influences on Criminal Behaviour - Theory and Evidence
- What is a chronic offender and what is the significance of Marvin Wolfgang's discovery (why is identifying the chronic offender/Long Term Offender important)? More than 115 criminal convictions in B.C.: One chronic offender's story
- How would you explain the gender differences in the crime rate (why do you think males are more violent than females)? Feel free to use the links Gender and Crime in Sociology, Women and the Criminal Justice System, Are men more violent than women?, Gender and Crime
For question 1 above look at the crime statistics and demographics portions of:

A Block Physical Geography - So yesterday's fire alarm threw the block into a bit of disarray. As such, today we'll finish our work on the Prince Rupert topographic map from the Canadian Landscape (pages 20 - 23) It's 103 J/8 and can be found here. I'll need you to finish questions 3, 4 a & b, 5, 7 a, b, d & e, and 9 a & b. Use Google Earth or Google Maps (or Bing Maps if, like me, you're unhappy with Google changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on its online map) to help you with this assignment.
