A Block Criminology - You have the block today, to work on the questions I posted yesterday. A reminder...I'd like you to read through the "Nature of Victimization" on pages 53-5 and 57-58 and "Theories of Victimization" dealing with Victim Precipitation, Lifestyle, and Routine Activities on pages 59-62 in the CRIM text. After discussing these sections your job will be to complete the following (don't worry, you'll have all tomorrow to work on this too):
- 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
Use the videos and information from the past few days on the blog to help.
B Block Legal Studies - We'll be off to the Learning Commons/Library today to finish answering the question, "Should Aboriginal Peoples have their own system of Justice? Use all of the links and info I've posted this week to help. If you're done, I'll have you work on the following from the AAL text to submit next class.
- questions 1, 2 and 4 on page 64 and
- Review Your Understanding questions 1, 2 and 5 on page 83
C Block Human Geography - Today's key question is "Why Does Population Growth Vary among Regions"? and it's kind of an important one to look at. Although population rates vary among countries, the model for a similar process of change in a society’s population is the demographic transition. So we'll look at the model...it looks like this:
I'll have you fill in the chart in the Population/Development work package with characteristics describing each stage in the demographic transition model (CBR, CDR, NIR, etc.) along with the amount of growth of each stage (low, high, decreasing aka moderate) etc.
Consider Bulgaria. Bulgaria is projected to have the fastest-shrinking population in the world. Its already lost a fifth of its population since the 1990s. But what does this mean for those who remain? Bulgaria's dwindling population numbers happen in part because a lot of young adults have left the country so the birth rate is low but the Bulgarian government does not see immigration as a possible solution to the country's dwindling population. So...stage 4 (maybe 5) in the DTM. What should they do?

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