sociology homework

For the “Criminology in the World” discussion forum, find something to examine for evidence of criminological concepts and principles at work. You need to find something in the real world that is connected to the module: this could be an event, your own and others’ behaviour, or some sort of social artifact (movies, TV shows, books, songs, newspaper articles, blogs, current events).

For your post, (a) describe the thing you have chosen in enough detail so that the rest of us understand it and then connect it to the module.

For example, it should look like this:

A few years ago, a senior bus driver was driving a busload of students to school in my hometown. He had a stroke, crossed the center line, and a semi hit the bus. Everyone survived except the driver of the bus. However, all students experienced a traumatic event. The driver was a senior, and I am unsure of his medical history.

• Mens Rea:
  • Although the driver had passed, he would have been found not guilty because he did not have a guilty mind, not meaning to cross the center line, nor was he doing anything else to cause reckless driving (etc., speeding)

• Actus Reus:
  • Conduct: Senior was driving
  • Circumstances: stroke was an accident- senior was not aware that a stroke was going to happen
  • Consequences: the senior driver passed away, everyone else on the scene was uninjured.
