Schedule for Crime Types' Reports & Next Couple Weeks

First, remember to check out the MONDAY, SEPT. 29TH blog post in which I describe what I want each of the families to do in your chapter reports. Also, as I noted this morning, this will be a 5 point activity. Now that we know which chapters each of the families will be responsible for, let me set down a schedule for this, including for the next couple weeks:

THURS. 10/2: continue presenting sociological theories of criminal behavior, beginning with so-called "Labeling Theory".

TUES. 10/7: FIRST ESSAY DUE. Final comments on theories. I will talk about Preface and Chapter 1 of Crime Types. (Time for families to organize reports and brainstorm midterm exam questions). BRING YOUR BOOKS.

THURS. 10/9: I'll report on Chapters 6 & 8 of Crime Types. (family time to finalize some midterm exam questions).

TUES. 10/14: I'll cover any loose ends on Crime Types and theories. Review for midterm exam. Probably also hand back essays.

THURS. 10/16: MIDTERM EXAM.

TUES. 10/21: Crime Types' Report: Chap. 2 (Green Family) Most likely hand back midterm exams and go over in class.

THURS. 10/23: Crime Types' Reports: Chap. 3 (Blue Family); Chap. 4 (Yellow Family)

TUES. 10/28: Crime Types' Reports: Chap. 5 (Black Family); Chap. 7 (Red Family).

***We'll try to stick to this schedule. Since your reports will come after the midterm exam, you will be making up questions for the final exam. Also, you need to read at least the Preface and Chapters 1, 6 & 8 prior to the midterm.
