\nCrime and Society
\nFall 2022
\nThis course is an introduction to the study of crime, criminality and corrections in the context of
\ncontemporary Canadian society. The aim of this course is to promote critical thinking about
\nsociological responses to crime. We will begin to address the following questions: What are the
\ncauses and consequences of various crimes? What theories can explain participation, impact and
\nprevention of various crimes? How does society and socialization influence criminality and
\nvictimization? What alternatives to prison may better mitigate crime\u2019s impacts, such as
\nRestorative Justice?
\nClass Time:
\nTuesdays 6-8:50pm

\nthe following guidelines:
\n\u25aa All communications must be respectful \u2013 no foul language or name calling.
\n\u25aa Do not write in all caps \u2013 this is the digital equivalent of shouting.
\n\u25aa Communications must be in proper English, and with correct capitalisation (e.g. \u2018you are\u2019
\nnot \u2018u r\u2019; \u2018I\u2019 not \u2018I\u2019, names are capitalised).
\n\u25aa Correspondence: Whether you are responding to a classmate in a discussion group,
\nrequesting help from a College department, or emailing your professor with a request, you
\nshould begin all online correspondence with some sort of greeting:
\n10
\no For formal email requests from service providers at the College such as the
\nRegistrar\u2019s Office, the language of your greeting should be more formal, using
\nthe person\u2019s name and salutation.
\n\u2022 E.g. Dear Ms. Brooks, Dear Mr.Hinchcliffe.
\n\u25aa If you don\u2019t know the name of the person in the department, then it is
\nacceptable to address your message to the department:
\n\u25aa E.g. Dear Student Affairs, Dear Registrar, Dear Librarians
\no For classmates, \u201cHello\u201d followed by their first name\u201d is recommended.
\n\u25aa E.g. Hello Gagandeep
\no For communications with your instructor, use greetings such as \u201chello, good
\nmorning, good afternoon, etc.\u201d followed by your instructor\u2019s name as he\/she has
\nindicated they would like to be addressed in class.
\n\u25aa E.g.: Good morning Professor, Good afternoon Dr. Smith, Hello Michael.
\n\u25aa Response times for your messages: 48 hrs during weekdays (72 hrs on weekends) is
\nconsidered a reasonable response time for messages.
\no Do not email repeatedly about the same issue unless you have not received a
\nresponse within these response times.

\nwrite your final exam.
\nAttendance
\nVirtual Sessions: Arriving Late, Leaving Early and Attendance Recording on MyAC
\nStudents are expected to log in on time for their classes (5-10 minutes before is recommended).
\nThe link from MyAC to your course Zoom room will open 15 minutes prior to your scheduled
\nclass start time. Late login or early logouts will count as an absence. Please ensure that you log
\ninto your class each time via MyAC. If you use a saved Zoom link, or your instructor\u2019s office
\nhours link, your attendance will not be recorded.
\n11
\nPlease note: Your instructor is not obligated to manually update your attendance if you
\ndo not follow the correct procedure. MyAC updates every 24 hours, so there may be a
\ntime-lag between your classroom login and the updating of attendance statistics on the
\nsystem.
\nIn-Person Sessions: Arriving Late, Leaving Early and Attendance Recording on MyAC
\nStudents are expected to be on time for their classes (arriving 5 minutes before the start of class is
\nrecommended). Your instructor will manually record attendance for theses sessions on MyAC. If

\neligible for attendance appeals.
\nParticipation:
\nStudents are expected to demonstrate integrity, professionalism, responsibility, a commitment to
\nactive learning, and respectful behavior in and out of the classroom.
\nStudents are expected to participate in all classroom activities. Students are encouraged to raise
\ntheir hand in class to ask questions or contribute to classroom discussions.
\nIn general, the student is expected to complete 2 hours of homework (including the reading of
\ntextbooks, preparation for quizzes and exams, completion of labs, assignments and exercises) for
\nevery 1 hour of classroom activity.
\nPlease bring class notes, paper, pencils, pens, ruler, and scientific calculator to class. In class,
\nlearning and problem solving activities will take place and students will be required to submit
\ncompleted exercises, worksheets, and labs.
\nArriving Late and Leaving Early:
\nStudents are expected to arrive on time for their classes. After 10 minutes into the class, the door
\nof the classroom will be closed, and the Instructor will disallow students from entering the
\nclassroom. Lateness and leaving early will count as an absence.
\nCell phone and Other Electronics:
\nCell phones and other electronics are not to be used in the classroom. Students who use cell
\nphones and other electronics in class will be asked to leave the classroom.
\nFood:
\nFood and drinks will not be permitted in class.
\nLate Assignments:
\nThe student is responsible for completing homework activity. Late assignments will not be
\naccepted. If students miss or fail to complete in-class activities such as quizzes, exercises,
\nworksheets, and\/or labs, they will receive a grade of 0 (zero) on the assignment.
\nMakeup Exams:
\nIn exceptional cases, students may be excused from taking an exam at the scheduled time. To be
\nexcused, the student must:
\n\u2022 Notify the Instructor of an inability to take the exam prior to the scheduled time of the
\nexam, when possible.
\n\u2022 Provide proof of inability to take the exam (e.g., a doctor’s note).
\n12
\nNo makeup exams will be arranged for midterm exams. Students who miss an exam for
\nlegitimate reasons will have the weight of the missed exam moved to the rest of the exams.
\nStudents who miss a final exam for legitimate and sufficient reasons, may appeal for a deferred
\nexam with the campus Director.
\nPolicies:
\nAttendance:
\nAlexander College no longer has a formal attendance requirement for UT courses, however an
\nattendance rate of 70% or higher is highly recommended for the following reasons:
\n1. Our data about our own students clearly demonstrates that students with the recommended
\nattendance rates are not only more likely to pass their courses, they are more likely to achieve
\nbetter grades. This is important to you because:
\na. not having to repeat failed courses saves you time and money
\nb. better grades make you eligible for scholarships which can reduce tuition costs
\nc. fewer failures increases your chances of being accepted at other universities such as
\nUBC, SFU, etc.
\nd. fewer failures means you will more likely complete your associate degree within the
\ntwo year time frame, which also saves you money.
\n2. From time to time, the Canadian government checks up on visa students. High attendance rates
\nare a good indication that you are honouring the terms of your student visa. Maintaining good
\nstudent visa status may have a positive impact on qualifying for other visas in the future.
\nPlease note: Students are responsible for completing all course material and assignments whether
\npresent or not. Students who miss an exam due to illness or incapacity should refer to the exam
\ndeferral process in the Academic Calendar (http:\/\/alexandercollege.ca\/admissions-and registration\/academic-calendar\/).
\nEnglish Only:
\nThe school has an \u201cENGLISH ONLY\u201d policy for all classroom activity. All communication in the
\nclassroom must be in English. Students who do not follow this policy will be asked to leave the
\nclassroom.
\nAcademic Integrity & Misconduct:
\nAt Alexander College, we expect that students hold themselves to the standard of Academic
\nIntegrity and refuse to knowingly participate in any incident of plagiarism or cheating (academic
\nmisconduct).
\n\u2022 If the Instructor finds an obvious case of plagiarism\/cheating, the Instructor will meet
\nwith and inform the student that they will receive a grade of 0 on the assignment, and
\nthen fill out an Academic Alert (at reception) to give to the Director.
\na. Plagiarism
\nPlagiarism occurs when an individual submits or presents the work of another person as his or her
\nown. Scholarship quite properly rests upon examining and referring to the thoughts and writings
\nof others. However, when excerpts are used in paragraphs or essays, the author must be
\nacknowledged in the text, through footnotes, in endnotes, or in other accepted forms of academic
\ncitation. Where collaborative work is permitted by the Instructor, students must ensure that they
\ncomply with the Instructor\u2019s requirements for such collaboration. Students are responsible for
\nensuring that any work submitted does not constitute plagiarism. Students who are in any doubt
\n13
\nas to what constitutes plagiarism should consult their Instructor before handing in any
\nassignments.
\nExamples of plagiarism include but are not limited to:
\n\u2022 Using another person\u2019s words, ideas, theories, charts, photographs, etc. without citing
\nthem.
\n\u2022 Using any statistics, facts, opinions, or research without citing them.
\n\u2022 Incorrectly paraphrasing another person\u2019s ideas.
\n\u2022 Incorrectly quoting another person\u2019s words.
\n\u2022 Changing data or research or in any way misrepresenting research.
\n\u2022 Failure to properly use in-text citations and an MLA\/APA style Works Cited.
\n\u2022 Submitting any work that was done by another person (this includes papermills, cutting
\nand pasting, unethical tutoring, etc.)
\n\u2022 Re-submitting work done previously or for another course, etc.
\nTutor use must be ethically pursued (a tutor can TEACH a student, but not write anything for
\nthe student), and tutor forms can be found at either reception desk. Our own tutors in the
\nWLC are excellent options for our students as they tutor ethically and their services are free!
\nb. Cheating
\nCheating occurs when a student engages in actual or attempted behaviour that results in
\nunauthorized access to information during any form of assessment. \u2018Cheating\u2019 also includes
\nassisting someone else to commit academic misconduct and fabrication or falsification of
\nresearch or data.
\nc. Alexander College Exam Rules
\n1. Alexander College student ID is required to write exams. Other ID will not be accepted.
\n2. No entry after 30 minutes, and no leaving the exam room for the first 30 minutes.
\n3. No bathroom breaks. If you leave the room during the exam, your exam will be over.
\n4. No cell phones or other electronic devices in pockets etc. (possession is considered
\ncheating).
\n5. Only writing supplies, student card, and a water bottle allowed on the desk. No pencil
\ncases.
\n6. No jackets, hats, bags, or watches. All student possessions must be placed at the front of
\nroom.
\n7. No sharing calculators.
\n14
\n8. Possession or use of information or materials not authorized by the Instructor is cheating.
\n9. It is your responsibility not to appear to be cheating.
\nDisciplinary Measures for Academic Misconduct:
\nInstances of academic misconduct are referred to as Academic Alerts. In each case, a college
\nadministrator will contact the student by email.<\/p>\n
1. When a student incurs a first Academic Alert, the student must complete a mandatory
\nremediation workshop. Failure to complete the remediation workshop will result in
\nsuspension for academic misconduct for the next term.
\n2. When a student incurs a second Academic Alert, the student will be suspended for
\nacademic misconduct for the next term. If the student is registered for any courses in the
\nnext term, the student will be immediately dropped from those courses.
\n3. After the suspension period, if a student incurs a third Academic Alert, the student\u2019s file
\nwill be referred to the Academic Committee for consideration for expulsion.
\nNon-Academic Misconduct:
\nAlexander College is committed to maintaining a safe work and study environment for all of our
\nstudents, staff, and faculty. We expect everyone to conduct themselves in a manner that is
\nrespectful to all students, employees and property of the College. “Non-Academic” misconduct
\nincludes any actions or behaviours on the part of students that:
\n1. disrupts or prevents fellow students from learning
\n2. disrupts or prevents faculty or staff members from performing their appointed duties
\n3. threatens or compromises the safety of fellow students, staff members, or faculty
\n4. results in damage to College equipment or property.
\nStudents who engage in non-academic misconduct will be referred to the Director of Student
\nAffairs for disciplinary action. Such action may include: temporary removal from a classroom,
\npermanent removal from a course, and\/or liability for damages caused to College equipment or
\nproperty. In severe cases, non-academic misconduct may result in temporary suspension or
\npermanent expulsion from Alexander College. For further information, please refer to the
\nAcademic Calendar (https:\/\/alexandercollege.ca\/admissions-and-registration\/academic calendar\/).
\nAccommodation for Disability & Chronic Illness
\nStudents who have a disability or medical\/psychological concern (e.g., a chronic illness) that may
\naffect their attendance or participation in class must establish their need for accommodation with
\nthe Director of Operations or Director of Academic Affairs by the end of the third week of the
\nterm. If the student does not notify the administration in time, no accommodations will be granted
\nfor the student during that term.
\n15
\nEach student applying for accommodation will be considered individually, on a case-by-case
\nbasis, with respect and confidentiality. Instructors will make provisions as mutually agreed upon
\nby themselves and the student.
