Criminology : December 15

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

"Hello, everyone. We're going to have class today in the A/V lab, if you'll follow me."

Each computer station is set up with this website in the browser.

"This is the website to the Museo Criminologico in Italy. I'd like you to cruise around the website, and check out a few of the exhibits they have for viewing.

How do you feel about this kind of museum and how this one is organized? It isn't the only one of its type, either. For example, there is El Museo Criminológico in Costa Rica."

As the students sit down to the computers, Grissom has a seat in a chair at the back of the room. If you have any questions about the final project, or have another question, feel free to talk to him.

"I suppose that if you don't understand criminology, some people might thing this is a tad morbid. It's actually pretty interesting, though. I like that you can see the evolution through time and that they use different subjects to illustrate it."

"A lot of society is fascinated by crime. If there can be true crime fiction, why not a musuem? I think this is very interesting and very informative. Crime, all of it, is it's own history and can be learned from just as much as math, science and history. I think the ability to zoom in on photographs is neat. It almost gives the impression of having a magnifying glass and investigating. This website is very well laid out and very fact filled."

Maia browsed the site and enjoyed it. "I like this, I think its interesting and I think that if more people utilized sites and museums like this then there would be better understanding of consequences and crime amoung the youth of today."

Angela browses the sight, getting a little sick to her stomach at the description of the Correggio soap-maker.

"I guess I agree with John -- it's a subject people are interested in, and studying it scientifically is better than, like, shoving it under a rug. The thing I guess that worries me? Is that if you put this in a museum you ... it almost feel like it disrespects the victims, you know? But I can't explain why I feel that way."
