A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll start the class with our unit final test. When we are finished, we'll mark the test together. For the last part of the class you'll need to work on the interior layered structure of the Earth diagram (crust-mantle-core-and asthenosphere). You'll work on questions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 from page 145 (For Review).
B - Social Studies 10 - Today we are going to wrap up our work on the 1837-8 Rebellions in Canada by focusing on the arrival of Lord Elgin (1847) and discover why the Rebellion Losses Bill was so controversial yet so important. We'll look at the Corn Laws passed by Britain in 1846 and see the impact that made on the Canadian economy. We'll take a few notes down and work on two questions (question 8 from page 31 and 18 from page 33). After it's time to prepare for your unit final tomorrow - I'll prep you for it.
C - Criminology 12 - Today we will continue our look at property crime and theft. We'll turn our focus to shoplifting and I'll show you a small news clip on the Winona Ryder case. You'll need to answer the following:
- What are the differences between a professional and an occasional thief?
- What is a "situational inducement"?
- What is a "Booster", a "Heel", a "Snitch", a "Fence"?
- Why do you think Winona Ryder shoplifted (motive)?
- Do you think the penalties given to her were appropriate (3 years probation, 4000 hours of community service, $9000 fine, and drug & psychiatric counseling)? Why or why not?
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 figure 11.2 on page 257 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.
This will take the whole class to complete and will be handed in on Monday for marks.
