Death and Dying

We will continue with our chapter on Homicide today.

Discussion: Excluding factors like a murderer's threat to society, what type of punishment do you believe is necessary for a homicide victim to receive justice? Or do the dead need justice at all?

Please read Chapter 204, entitled Loss of Control, from Clinical Methods for Monday.

Sociology of Deviance

Please take you seats. You will be quizzed today on your reading. [You can take the quiz cold, and then give me your (fabricated no doubt) IC results after you take a look at all the correct answers.]

Discussion will be based on Wednesday's intriguing research she shared in our last class.
Can a socially accepted group still be considered deviant? (Her example - Surburbanites) Please support your thoughts with examples.

For next class, please study this vocabulary. You'll find the format unique, but helpful with any luck.

"I will see many of you tomorrow at the Body Farm trip. Please remember to wear comfortable shoes and clothes that are easy to launder, and do not bring any food, drinks, etc. with you on the trip. I have a few gallons of lemon juice ready for students when we get back, we'll all have to hit the showers."

Once again Grissom has hit on a topic that sends Marty into a neurotic tailspin.

"Yeah... um... Isn't punishment for the uh... felon really for the victim's family and loved ones as well as society at large? I mean the victims are dead. Do they need closure? That's not to say that the uh... killer shouldn't walk free by society's judgement."

"Some believe that the victims... that their souls... need justice to move on to the afterlife properly, although I suppose it depends on what you believe. But then again, perhaps forgiveness is a more powerful force than even death."

No. Don't need justice, don't need anything. Already dead. Sometimes they need help going, but they all go over in the end.

Marty looks at Stark with a weird look.

"Dude. You're like freaking me out here."

But it's true. All true.

sorry?

[OOC: You're a stinker, but I love ya! Nothing like heaping a whole bunch of Angst on Marty.]

[OOC: Marty is pretty good at creating his own Angst, but the more you throw on him the more fun his mun has.]
