Sociology of Violence

Grissom gives a lecture on Detention The Prison System

Discussion: The United States has 486 prisoners per 100,000 of population, the highest ratio of developed nations. Does this surprise you? Why or why not?

Sociology of the Paranormal

Grissom gives a lecture on apparitions, of the paranormal, spiritual, and supernatural nature.

Homework: Now that we've discussed thoughts on the afterlife, and various religious practices, I'd like you to prepare a report on a sighting of an apparition for Wednesday. It can be a personal experience, a report on a friend's experience, or a mainstream historical or religious event.

Marty signs in and wonders if it would be okay for him to write about Angela's experiences or if she wants to bring them up in front of class.

Angela signs in. If Marty asked, she would tell him he can write about anything she's told him about except the girl at the Watcher's HQ, because she's presenting that one.

But she cannot read minds, so she doesn't tell him this. Woe.

Marty can't read minds either. He does however realize that he can ask Angela permission, so he leans close to her and whispers: "Hey, can I interview you later about one of your ghost experiences?"

Angela nodded. "Sure. I should be around tonight," she whispered.
