A Block Criminology - Today we're in the library where you may finish your shoplifting poster or answer the following for an online post about auto theft.
I'd like you to answer the following:
- Explain what the five reasons are why people steal cars
- Where in Canada most cars are stolen from and what types of vehicles are most commonly stolen
- What are some prevention methods / methods of protection (how to stop your car from being stolen).
CTV News Vancouver has a short video on the top 10 most wanted auto theft suspects here and the Vancouver Sun did a nice piece on Auto Theft (actually catalytic converter theft) in the Lower Mainland here.
B Block Legal Studies - Today, we'll review your rights upon arrest and detention and then focus on Release and Bail Procedures, Judicial Release Procedures, Disclosure, Arraignments and Preliminary Hearings. After being arrested, a person may be released on the spot. This may be when police officers believe that the accused presents no further danger and will appear on the trial date. Others are taken to the police station, where the police record the criminal charges and take fingerprints and photographs. Some of these people will also be released, usually if they are charged with less serious offences. If the police believe that an accused may commit further offences, is a threat to the victim or witness, will interfere with the investigation, or will not appear in court, she or he may be detained until a bail hearing takes place. Just so you know...this is not legal in Canada
I'll have you work on the following:
Questions 1 & 3 from page 167 of the All About Law Text
1. Following arrest, under what circumstances is the accused more likely to be released until his or her court appearance? When is someone not likely to be released?
3. Why is habeas corpus an important legal right in a civil democracy?
Questions 2, 4, and 5 from page 178 of the All About Law Text
2. Identify the legal rights of an accused on arrest or detention.
4. Identify the different types of pre-trial release, and provide an example of each.
5. Puneeta was sitting with some friends at the park when two police officers walked over to the group. When the police noticed several open beer cans near Puneeta, they demanded identification, assuming that she was guilty of drinking in public. Puneeta told the officers that the beer cans were not hers and that she had not been drinking. She demanded to be let go, but the police grabbed her by the arm. Puneeta became frightened and noisy, and struggled to get free. The police then fined her for drinking in public and arrested her for causing a disturbance. When the officers began to handcuff her, a shoving
and pushing match broke out. Puneeta was charged with two counts of assault.
a) Why was Puneeta charged with assault?
b) Should Puneeta be found guilty of assault? Explain.
C Block Human Geography - Today, we'll look at housing (looking at folk housing vs popular housing). We'll watch the video on Toraja village in Indonesia and then we'll talk about feng shui and popular housing locally...The Comox Box.
During the 1970s, affordability became a major factor in the home buying process. To help make housing more affordable, builders reduced lot sizes and increased the density of developments. To appeal to first-time buyers and stimulate the housing market, CMHC (then Central, now Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) introduced the Assisted Home Ownership Program (AHOP) in 1971, to help low-income people attain home ownership. This meant that the average lot size in "newer" (1970's) Comox and Courtenay developments was reduced to 0.19 acre and the house size was increased to about 1800 square feet.
You'll have some questions to work on for me
D Block Physical Geography - Today we'll look at Mass Wasting (falls, slides, and flows). We will figure out the causes of Mass Wasting by looking at both the driving and resisting forces on hillsides and slopes. We will try to figure out some slope stabilization practices and specifically we'll look at what has been done at Goose Spit to stop erosion of the Willemar Bluffs along Balmoral Beach. We'll also review the problems of the Sea to Sky highway (Hwy 99 from West Vancouver to Squamish), The Trans-Canada through the Rockies (Highway 1), The Number 3 Highway from Hope (1965 Hope Slide) and we'll review the Oso Washington slide from March 2014 as well as the 2019 Joffre Peak landslides. And, of course, the Coquihallla Mudslides of 2021...Highway 5 was closed to regular vehicle traffic on Nov. 14, 2021, due to damage caused by an atmospheric river. Flooding and washouts associated with the November 2021 rain damaged more than 20 sites along 130 kilometres of the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt. This included seven bridges where spans completely collapsed or were heavily damaged.
You will define rock fall, debris avalanche, landslide, mud flow, and soil creep and work on questions in your Geomorphology workbook.
