		<description><![CDATA[OK, a little back grounder on for my thoughts on human rights, and why we wave the banner around but no one does anything about it. I am taking this course, as part of my degree in Criminology, and it deals specificity with all subject matter under the umbrella of human rights. We will cover, once the course is completed, everything from domestic and local issues, all the way up to international and global issues that concerns us today, and from the past. The mesh of political views, to cultural dynamics, are the themes that are a constant so far in this course. But this course is more than covering current events, and history texts, it is all about the ideas and solutions that could change the world in the near future. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year the local market had them installed, the Bank had them since I could remember, and I even have one: closed circuit video are everywhere, and more are to come. The local market, also know at the IGA, had them installed just last year after experiencing a record breaking year of theft. It was so bad there that the owner was almost looking at taking drastic measures to curve the financial loss it was incurring on his business. Once the video system was installed, they were able to use the images to show police who was steeling when they fled the store. For me, I had my vehicle broken into three years ago and I had to do something about it. My landlord was unable to offer any solutions, and they certainly did not want to install my camera, but after checking with law enforcement and legal experts, I was able to go ahead with the installation without my landlord's approval. The camera has stayed ever since, even with many threats of legal sanctions, and a visit boys from the Township By-law office by them, my trusty little camera keeps a vigil eye on my vehicle. Oddly enough my vehicle has not being touched ever since?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had a conversation with a very good friend of mine about the new set of Internet laws that the Canadian government is poised to set into reading this Fall in Ottawa, (Investigative Powers for the 21st Century (IP21C) Act). I think for the average Canadian, most would react the same way as my friend did, in outrage that Big brother is about to be given another set of tools that will erode our privacy even further, but not really giving thought as to what the actual ramifications would be. But I like to think that both sides of the coin should be represented, but that can be hard to do when only one side does not want to listen. So, I'm going to post about.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In  my understanding of Canadian politics and jurisprudence, among all of its processes and structure, I feel it needs to stay the way it is now. But take in mind that we are contently in a state of flux, and changes, although small and minute, are always talking place. Each time we elect an government, and new markets open and old ones close, change is inevitable on a whole. However, without going through these exercises of playing around with these ideas we would never learn and understand what it is that we have now to and hopefully appreciate the rights and freedoms we enjoy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has their own perspective on crime. For most, their opinion is formed through the media, or a general consensus that says crime is increasing at an unprecedented rate. From the small sample of people that I talked to at this forum, I got a sense that the common view of who a criminal is  was usually based on age, gender and ethnicity. This is in keeping with my academic training, so it was no big surprise, but it was uneasy to hear this first hand.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[...Perhaps what is interesting was that I would have never pegged the four young women as criminals on the lamb. Their clothes, demeanour and accessories would have fooled me because they dressed, acted and mimiced the way college students would. This is probably the stereotype that I form, the bias that I have when fitting a face to a crime. This is just one example of just how complex society is today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, well, well, the media is on a blitz with criminal gangs here in the Lower Mainland, as we now have hit the 12th killing in 24 days. The news papers are a buzz with people's opinions, and law enforcement officials talking the talk and spewing out all sorts of social, judicial and administrative problems as the public screams for answers and results. No one is immune from it, the criticisms I mean: judges, lawyers, politicians, police, academics. It is like everyone is fodder for the moral panic that is flooding the airwaves.]]></description>
