@jenniferreid24 The police play a vital part in keeping this situation from escalating, but "communication between sides is thus highly relevant to keeping protests peaceful (Nassauer, 2014, p. 11)". Communication needs to occur to build rapport and trust, or it will likely escalate. #PLST4000

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

Protesting is a common and accepted form of expressing opinions and addressing issues. Being peaceful (such as this one) or unpeaceful, law enforcement need to be trained and able to contain all parties involved from escalating #PLST4000 https://t.co/RVjE4fF7Li

@natasha61815440 The safety of the people working in this hazardous line of work is imperative. Though, the "criminalisation of sex work prevents sex workers from accessing police protection, whereby police become adversaries as opposed to safety mechanisms (Krüsi et. al, 2014)". #PLST4000

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

Sex work is a very stigmatized and debated topic attached to mostly negative perceptions and ideas. As this podcast indicates this field of work is much more, acting as a form of recovery, lifestyle and empowerment. #PLST4000 Choosing Sex Work | CBC Radio https://t.co/c96kCcgNqk

@AbbyManning272 Areas such as these require very strategic police responses, which mass arresting will not resolve. To combat this form of organized crime it requires prevention (e.g. increased mental health services) and intervention (e.g. higher police presence in these areas). #PLST4000

Operations such as 'Project Trapper' in Thunder Bay, ON show the extensiveness of illegal drug and gang activity, where 45 arrests (15 with suspected gang ties) and 1,322 fentanyl pills being seized which had a street value of $270,000 #PLST4000

Societal technology advancement forces police to be "more creative in their approach to obtaining information for their investigations (Peters, 2017)". Such as in this news report, police need to be able to track and counter those who extort and steal via. technology #PLST4000

Cyber-crime is an evolving form of crime that advances on side of technology, rapidly. Through deception it and deceit such as attached, one's security online is jeopardized, even costing Canadian's $43 Million from Jan - Oct 19 (CTV News, 2019). https://t.co/7EbLPh4nJs #PLST4000

Using strain theory and social control theory could lead to a better understanding the societal strains and influences supporting the youth's gaining involvement into the gang culture. Prevention of all forms such as community services, centers and programs are needed. #SOCI2300

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

Understand Agnew's GST allows for recognizing and effects of strains such as endured by Sally, could allow other survivors of intimate relationship violence who acted to continue their lives when recognizing the effects of these strains in court. #Soci2300 https://t.co/9auZgbPLXQ

Mixed methods approaches could also be utilized by using anonymous survey's to ID a more accurate number of excessive force(EF). Former prisoners could be asked "have you ever witnessed/been a target of EF; and COs "have you ever witnessed fellow officers use EF" #SOCI2300

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

Using mixed methods research such as an interview (life history) of Santos to identify strains leading to this crime, with GST in mind, then through surveys at homeless shelters conduct surveys to ID strains and potential future homeless crime. #SOCI2300 https://t.co/fL9sBSy9kA

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

@BrettGlover16 So true, and it continues to be a greater issue that requires more action and response. The "uphill battle" (representing life) that Indigenous people face is so drastic in Canadian society. #SOCI2300

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

"Crime is a resource that may be summoned when men lack other resources to accomplish gender (Messerschmidt, 1993, pp. 84-85)". Hegemonic masculinity describes the influences of "doing" masculinity. Victim blaming or justifying something like this act, is not the answer!#SOCI2300

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

Following my previous tweet. As Carlen (1988) states: women set about making their lives within conditions that have certainly not been of their own choosing. Society is a patriarchy and sadly Gladue became another victim to it's system.

"A native girl" and a "prostitute", terms used by the defense as a form of justification to her death. Challenged with intersectionality it forced her into subordination, showing the social and economic issues facing women in Canadian society. #SOCI2300

@rohanrumj It truly is amazing how people coming together for a common goal, cause; or initiative can do amazing things. Could you imagine a world where people just went with the "status quo", so much oppression and inequality would still be strong. #gndr1000

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

https://t.co/ANkHZom34P Please check out this groups page. So much is predetermined such as geographical location at birth, race, sex but these factors should not hinder peoples ability to strive for freedom, for safety, for security and the list continues ! #gndr1000

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

@fafdeb Thank You Deb, this course TRULY opened my eyes. As a man (along with being a police officer) see issues in "a different light". So many different topics covered, so many ideas about gender inequality, gender differences that you do not usually see, etc. #GNDR1000

[Todd Baker @MUNTab136]

Kutz Ted Talk and list of 10 Things Men Can Do To Prevent Gender Violence should be distributed within the school system, media, billboards, etc. Men need to hear it from MEN. We (all men) hold significant power in reducing/abolishing gender based violence. Let's Act! #gndr1000
