Criminology

Today in class, I would like you to review your assigned reading and I would like each of you to offer a way you would modify the current judicial system in dicussion.

For next class, please review these handouts. We will be discussing the role of censorship in regards to its legal necessity, and the issue of obscenity.


Death and Dying

I hope you did your reading.

In continuing with our Homicide unit, please discuss the following question.
What factors do you believe excuse some one from being responsible for a death when it comes to matters of personal control for one's actions? Psychological illness? Extreme distress? Introduction of an influential outside source?

For next class, please read Anne Sexton's poem Suicide Note.

Grissom gives her a warm smile. "Thank you, Rogue. If we had all the answers, we wouldn't be asking the questions. I appreciate your honesty."

Rogue blushes at the praise. "Thank you doctor. I really enjoy this class. It makes me think, and you're a really great teacher," she adds with a little smile.

"I'm glad you are enjoying the class," he plays with a pen in his hand. "I try to make it relevant for the students at any rate, although I can admit I still have a lot to learn as well.

And if you can ever break yourself of the habit, just call me Grissom."
