Hi friends! I'm live in A109 this morning.

Let's start with a THINKING CHALLENGE: Should an employee taking a company pen home for personal use be considered a crime or not?

Join me at 2pm to discuss!

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Good afternoon, all. I'm back home, live, to answer any & all of your questions. We will be covering chapter 01, #ChangingBoundariesOfCriminogy this morning.

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
If you're a Twitter-Newbie, hopefully you're a little more acquainted after our "Welcome To The Course" last week.

If you still have questions, worry not! I'm here to help

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Each week, I'll be covering a chapter from the text here on Twitter. I'm *TRYING* to simulate what our in-class discussions would look like. You can follow along in real time or at your own pace.

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
I do a variety of fun (??) exercises in these discussions. I like to ask poll questions, provide insight from "guest" speakers, and try to answer ALL your questions, as well

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
So let me get to know a little about YOU before we get started ...

Are you a Criminal Justice major?

I majored in History & French

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Why are you reading this thread?

I'm here because ... well ... I'm teaching the class!

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Let's get started!

Welcome to Criminology, today will be an overview of our first chapter in the text (Chapter 01) but also give some insight as to what you can do with criminology in the larger study of Criminal Justice

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Many of my Moraine Valley CRJ students are interested in law enforcement. What are your career ambitions?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
What area of study do you think plays the most significant role in understanding why people break the law?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Today we will look at criminology in terms of the economy, the environment, and globalization

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
What aspect of #Criminology is most interesting to you?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Let's add another THINKING CHALLENGE:

WOULD YOU RATHER:
An innocent man be wrongly convicted
– OR –
a guilty man go free? WHY?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
What?

What is the significance of the above question, wouldn't most of us not want either?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
We are going to look at how Americans don't always agree what the primary goal of the Criminal Justice system should be.

WOULD YOU RATHER:
Crime control
-or-
Rights protected?

WHY? #MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
We will examine a broad range of criminal behavior this semester, let's introduce a few of these top trending criminology topics

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
“The use or threat of violence directed at people or governments in response to past action and/or to bring about a change of policy that is consistent with the terrorists’ objectives.”

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Terrorism is at the center of many forms of criminality that feed or are fed by terrorism.

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Why should criminologists study terrorism?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
What form of terrorism is most pressing to most of North America today?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
What form of terrorism is of most interest to you?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
We will examine the complex relationships between various forms of crime & their international impact

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
The globalizing era has produced an explosion in the volume of illegitimate commercial and financial transactions. North American and European banking and investment institutions have been flooded with laundered and ill-gotten gains

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
“Dirty” money cannot be spent freely. While there is evidence that terrorist weapons have been obtained by direct exchange for drugs, for dirty money, most expenditures by terrorists are for goods or services obtained on the free market

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
TRUE / FALSE: Most American paper money has some traces of cocaine on it?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
How does money laundering work? - Delena D. Spann

ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do…
...

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Please don't leave me hanging that money laundering always makes you think of this scene ...

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Cyberspace is there for everyone to use—or to abuse. And the abuses are increasingly being discovered and, indeed, legislated as crime

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Have you been the victim of online identity theft?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
The market in small arms is vast and mostly clandestine. What is new, however, is the market for weapons of mass destruction: nuclear, biological, and chemical.

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
In the issue of firearms, do you consider yourself to be ...

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Smuggling would-be illegal migrants from less-desirable homelands to more promising lands of opportunity has become a huge criminal enterprise involving millions of human beings

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
THINKING CHALLENGE: What country is currently considered the #1 purchaser of human trafficking / sex for trade?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Many of the countries of destination fear the growth of immigrant communities that might be terrorist havens. Even greater is the fear that terrorist organizations deliberately infiltrate their members into immigrant populations

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Terrorists, especially those with millennial goals or of religious or political extremism, seek to destroy past cultures and to impose their own vision of culture.

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
There is no limit to the reach of criminological inquiry, because every human activity is capable of deviance that produces significant harm, thus requiring criminological scrutiny

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
THINKING CHALLENGE:

"Every human being is capable of deviance that produces significant harm"

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
THINKING CHALLENGE:

"Every human being is born inherently good"

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
THINKING CHALLENGE:

"Basic human nature is collective, cooperative"

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
In 1885, the Italian law professor Raffaele Garofalo coined the term “criminology”.

The French anthropologist Paul Topinard used it for the first time in French in 1887

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
Criminologists use the term deviance to describe behavior that violates social norms, including laws.

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
The difference between crime and other forms of deviance is subject to constant change and may vary from one state or country to another and from one time to another

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
A crime is any human conduct that violates a criminal law and is subject to punishment.

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
THINKING CHALLENGE:

Who in a society decides, and when and under what circumstances, which acts that are already considered deviant in that society should be elevated to the level of gross deviance or crime, subject to punishment?

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries
This brings us back to the start of our discussion, let's see how similar or different our views on what should - or shouldn't be - a crime

#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #ChangingBoundaries

BUT ... what NON-financially related reason do you think causes most people strain & stress?

Add your gripes below & join me TODAY, Tuesday, 11:30am, cst, to discuss

#CRJ105 #CulturalDeviance
Good morning. There are not many words to express the tragedy that occurred over the past holiday weekend. It is something that we can discuss extensively in class.

#CRJ105 #CulturalDeviance
I do not want the opportunity to learn, share perspectives, ask questions to pass, but I'm not sure that our Twitter discussion forum is the most productive for a discussion of that nature.
