1) A 42-year-old man named Jamie Gallon was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Regina Saskatchewan on Sunday, Jan 29, 2017. When Gallon rode home on his bicycle at 7:30 pm, he was struck by a vehicle and was pronounced dead when police arrived. Gallon's family is asking the public to come forward with any information (Huffman, 2017).
2) This article is categorized as the victim because an innocent man was killed by the actions of another person. If the driver accidentally hit Jamie from the lack of visibility at night, stayed at the scene or called for help this would have been a different story. However, the driver left the scene of the crime which is illegal. There were no prior interactions and it was clearly another person's fault for Jamie's death..

Violent crimes also occur in areas of higher population densities and victims usually report the crime if committed by a stranger (Carleton, 2017a). This article somewhat matches with the course materials. Yes, the hit-and-run was in a denser city, but the driver is a stranger, this was in public and Jamie is older. Plus, Jamie died so he couldn't report the victimization to the
On July 20, 2016 at 19:00 I found Joseph Grass driving 15 mph in a 25 mph zone. After reaching the next intersection, Joseph ran the stop sign and continued down the road. I pulled in behind him and made a traffic stop on his truck. When I reached the window of his truck he was slumped over, behind the wheel, unlawfully in the middle of the road. I attempted to get Joseph’s attention by putting my flash light in his face, but that would not rouse him.
The article “The financially sustainable university” by Jeff Denneen and Tom Dretler, speaks about the financial crisis that institutions face and outlines areas of concern that colleges need to focus on to make the change to becoming financially sustainable. Colleges and Universities have been the foundation of economic prosperity and the key to realizing the American dream (Denneen, 2012), however; the increasing tuition rates and student loan debt continues to plague them. There was a time when tuition increases were passed on to the students, however; no longer are students and their families in a position to fund their education as in the years before. These economic factors have made innovation and change necessary to survive (Denneen, 2012).
In life, the line that separates victims from perpetrators is as clear as a window pane, but in some situations that window can crack, causing damage and danger. A victim is someone who has been harmed, or worse, due to a crime or accident. A perpetrator is a person who has committed a crime, either accidently or purposely. Three stories that capture this blurred line are Shattered, an Australian Story episode on ABC’s website, The Story of Tom Brennan, a story written by Australian author J.C.Burke, and In My Little Town, another Australian Story episode. They all share the common theme of having a blurred line between victim and perpetrator.

On 08-30-2015, at approximately 0627 hours, Yusel Cairo Ceballos (Driver 1), was operating a 2009 Mercedes Benz C-Class C300, (Vehicle 1), northbound on Sheldon Road, north of Flora Street. For reasons unknown, Driver 1 lost control of his vehicle on a straight roadway and began to rotate and was unable to regain control of his vehicle. Vehicle 1 drove off the east side of the roadway and onto grass and a brick paver landscaping display. Vehicle 1 struck brick paver columns and as a result of the crash, the driver of Vehicle 1, Yusel Cairo Ceballos, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.
I reviewed all evidence submitted. Respondent 1’s evidence consisted of a vehicle photo, an ariel scene photograph and Respondent 1 driver’s written statement. The vehicle photo shows left quarter panel damage. It matches the diagram on the police report and does not prove that the Respondent 1 vehicle had almost completed it turn when struck by Respondent 2. The ariel scene photograph shows less detail than the police report diagram and does not support Respondent 1’s contentions. In Respondent 1’s driver’s written statement she says she heard brakes squealing. This contradicts Respondent 1’s contention that Respondent 2 did not take evasive action. The police report is the most compelling piece of evidence. The police report finds Respondent
Part of the public believed that Rogerson should take the full responsibility because he killed an innocent woman in her own property, which is her backyard. On the other side, there are also some people pointed out that Rogerson is also a victim, because “citizens were responsible for protecting themselves against
In Janie Jones article she describes very thoroughly the girl scout murder that occurred the summer of 1977. Jones is an experienced journalist for the Ay Magazine. Her article is broken up into three different parts, the first part describes the three girls who were murdered along with a summary of the night before the incident and the night of. The night of the murder a camp counselor, and two other girl scouts reported hearing noises during the direction of the three girl’s camps but nothing was done. The next morning a camp worker found the three girls dead in their sleeping bags battered and sexually assaulted. Towards the end of part one Jones goes into detail about the crime scene. This can be used to identify facts and witnesses of
In this article, the author explains why it is difficult to find the idealist man in today’s society. This piece was written by Kay S. Hymowitz and published in the Wall Street Journal on February 2011. The purpose of this essay is to inform women about “where the good men have gone”, due to the fact they are all becoming “guys” instead of men. When Hymowitz states this, she is referring to a stage between a boy and a man. The author provides evidence telling how men in their twenties have decreased and the amount of “guys” have increased over a period of time. Also, this article could strike up conversation about how the economy has changed by the increase in female roles and decrease in male roles.
Nick Gillespie article, “Millennials Are Selfish and Entitled, and Helicopter Parents Are to Blame”(2014), asserts that as the title states, that children are the newest generation of children are the way they are due to an overly involved parent generation. Gillespie backs up this claim through his use of statistics. These statistics demonstrate the restrictions on children in today’s time period. Gillespie’s purpose is to point out the way helicopter parents are being overbearing and alert the reader to problems that they may be unaware of. Next, Gillespie discusses the nature of how children are acting and the fact that consumption of violence, and other forms allotted to previous generations has been cut off with little to no effect in
Further, Goldie Blumenstyk argues that higher education is more necessary now than ever and that it has an ever-growing list of challenges to face, in “Five Things that Surprised a Chronicle Reporter”. One major issue she addresses is the fact that graduates from more-selective universities tend to have better job opportunities than community college graduates. Blumenstyk touches on the costs of university athletics that often go unnoticed. She also explains her difficulties finding the proper trustworthy data to examine regarding universities. The author suggests that although debt can be limited thanks to online education, innovations appear to be detrimental to the less-wealthy.
The pair conducted their study using statistical data gathered from the Uniform Crime Report’s Supplementary Homicide Report for the years 2000 through 2007, and they chose their cities to gather data from by using United States Census Bureau
How can an actor improve? Well while referring to Geoff Colvin’s article our focus is on the main importance of how to be great. One way you can become great through acting, is by practicing every day, but not any ordinary practice, but deliberate mind stressing hard work. For example by practicing in front of groups of people the actor will have better confidence on the stage. The actor will also need to recite their lines so that they know them. Another example for reciting your lines could be, having someone read the lines before yours, and then you could recite the lines after listening to that person, and every time you mess up you can have them reread your lines until you can recite them without looking at your lines, and without making
Brooks’ article is putting forth what Terry L. Cooper alleges “The World as It is” (Cooper, 2012, p. 27). The difficulty in attempting to delineate his argument of “If it Feels Right” from a moral barometer perspective lies in the fact there are not any explicit unequivocal specifications to morality and value. While it can be argued there is a universal basis for ethics, depending on the society we are looking at, the interviews completed by Smith and Company addresses the contemporary issue of moral relativism, which is according to Lewis Vaughn, the view that a moral truth is completely and absolutely a function of the individual, with only specific cultures or persons legitimatizing morals values assigned to it (Vaughn, 2015). This issue
Mental illness can be described using two words, both of which start with the letter ‘I’: Inevitable, and ignored. It is inevitable, because there’s always going to be people born with mental illness, and nearly everyone is guaranteed to know of someone who is affected. It is ignored, because a lot of society passes it off as ‘fake’ or ‘attention seeking’. While this may be true in some cases, there are definitely some cases that are all too real. The fakers are the ones jeopardizing the lives of the individuals truly affected, because this causes others to not take the real cases seriously. In Nick Anderson’s cartoon that appeared in the January 12, 2011 edition of the Houston Chronicle, this is exactly what he is depicting. From the giant, daunting steps leading to the mental health professional, to the blinking, welcoming lights of the gun shop, Anderson is criticizing the accusatory society and government by providing a visual description just how hard it may be for some to get the help they truly need.
