Sadly the Increasing strict gun regulations are causing more people to possess firearms illegally. Illegal gun possession pose many risks to the public and law enforcement. Social control theory applies as much education and understanding of firearms laws are needed. #soci2300

Illegal gun possession has become more of an issue within gang violence, which stems from social control theory. These would fall under weapons offences in Canada. An increased police presence targeting gangs would help crack down on the issue. #SOCI2300

Criminology suggests that certain social characteristics are correlated to a greater involvement in criminal activity. Further investigation into the social reason for this high crime in Lab City needs to be completed to achieve change in policy & social change. #Soci2300

I agree a mixed method approach would be appropriate given to the large amount of sexual assaults that go unreported to police. This would affect stats of official data. Surveys could attempt to isolate incidents that occur on school property. #soci2300

In custody deaths have much attention in recent years. Who are most at risk of in-custody deaths of NL inmates? A quantitative study would involve stats of in custody deaths. Study objective is to provide evidence based ways for future prevention #soci2300

Two women, Skye Martin and Samantha Piercey, have died while in custody at the Newfoundland and Labrador Correctional Centre for Women in Clarenville since April 2018.

This article also shines light on the marginalization of indigenous women and how there is an increasing level of victimization. Evidence of patriarchy in these geographic areas. How do we think this would change if it were men or even non aboriginal women as victims? #soci2300

This article is a good example of what feminist criminologist look at; breaking the social silence around the issue of male violence against women. Aside point, is to consider the geographic location...what resources for victims are available?

[Cassbarker @Cassbarker1]

I agree that a feminist perspective to this “on again off again” couple may lead to a better understanding of why this occurred, as well as a more restorative justice approach to solving this issue. Will criminal charges help the deep rooted problem here? #soci2300

[Julia Rose @realliferanter]

#SOCI2300 Brooks & Schissel (2015) suggest that women's criminality is often linked to victimization, violence in relationships, addiction issues & more. Feminist criminologist might explore if this is a violence against women issue: was the woman resisting abuse?

MMIWG refers to a human rights crisis that has recently become a topic in the media. Women’s organizations have long called for action for violence and numbers of missing women. Speaks to the intersecting structural inequalities of society #reddress #intersectionality #soci2300
