Last class we finished off all the presentations of the prison project. I knew I would end up in jail at some point in my life....it was only a matter of time. Well done Class....the projects were awesome!
We started a discussion on what is deemed deviant by society. The class made a list of acts that are deviant but not criminal.
Next we created another list of acts that are criminal but not deviant. Interesting discussion on what you guys think is criminal but not deviant like
- downloading files off the internet
- lying at the border
- jaywalking
- speeding
- talking on phone while driving
- smoking weed
Deviant but not criminal:
- smoking
- picking your nose in public
- nudity
- homosexuality (in the past)
Great discussioin. Students then decided which ones should be illegal and which ones were just deviant.
Next class we will discuss why people commit crimes...and look at the early theories surrounding crime.
