...researchers did not focus on racial or ethnicity bias that could exist in earlier stages of processing. Thus, this report will offer a plausible explanation to see how offenders are depicted in earlier stages such as being charged or during the pretrial which can be used to explain the racial and ethnic disparities in sentencing outcomes. The second scholarly article examines the effect of ethnicity on crime attribution by showing photographs and letting the subject attribute any five offenses to the portrait. The results show that Israeli Arabs were identified with the most serious crimes and Ashkenazic Jews were less likely to have a crime attributed to them (Fishman et al. 2006). The results of this study do not explain the real distribution of crime in Israel. Furthermore, this study may not be able to generalize with other societies, especially in Western countries because of the cultural and racial diversity. Thus, this report will examine if journalists depict minorities to be dangerous or threatening in Canada by noticing key terms or phrases that indicate so. The third scholarly article examines racial profiling against people of colour in Canada. The study found that Asian's are seen as a "model minority" in which they have no negative, crime-related stereotypes associated with. On the contrary, it was found that black individuals are three times more likely to be stopped by the police and that racial profiling in Canada regularly occurs towards black individuals...

...Topic: Annotated Bibliography. Title: Is it ethical for retailers to intentionally promote alcohol to young adults? Why, or why not? Would your response vary according to type and/or quantity of alcohol being promoted? Subject TBS: MARK 936 Name of Subject: Consumer Behaviour Your student name: Prateek Arora Your student number: 4177794 Date: 27 February 2015 th Word Count: 1506 Introduction: There have been a lot of reports and problems being encountered by the society today due to the use of Alcohol, and these problems are specifically relating to alcohol consumption by young adults. Nevertheless, Castilla et al. (1999) in their study suggests that overall consumption of alcohol may be going down but the problem of excessive consumption of alcohol among young adolescents is increasingly taking place in the society. The promotion of alcohol by its manufacturers and retailers is an important factor as irresponsible drinking among young people makes its way towards anti-social behaviour and health problems. Considering alcohol manufacturing and distribution for retailers being a big business all over the world, it is essential for companies to stay ahead between the competition using innovative marketing strategies and campaigns. “There is an ongoing debate regarding the relationship between advertising and alcohol consumption...

...THE ELEMENTS OF A PROPOSAL Frank Pajares Emory University I. Introduction and Theoretical Framework A. “The introduction is the part of the paper that provides readers with the background information for the research reported in the paper. Its purpose is to establish a framework for the research, so that readers can understand how it is related to other research” (Wilkinson, 1991, p. 96). B. In an introduction, the writer should 1. create reader interest in the topic, 2. lay the broad foundation for the problem that leads to the study, 3. place the study within the larger context of the scholarly literature, and 4. reach out to a specific audience. (Creswell, 1994, p. 42) C. If a researcher is working within a particular theoretical framework/line of inquiry, the theory or line of inquiry should be introduced and discussed early, preferably in the introduction or literature review. Remember that the theory/line of inquiry selected will inform the statement of the problem, rationale for the study, questions and hypotheses, selection of instruments, and choice of methods. Ultimately, findings will be discussed in terms of how they relate to the theory/line of inquiry that undergirds the study. D. Theories, theoretical frameworks, and lines of inquiry may be differently handled in quantitative and qualitative...

...my mailing address, I emailed you last week and you informed me no revisions were necessary and that you mailed them out. I fear it got lost, and still have not received them. B. Annotated Bibliography of 5 Articles 1.) Strickler, Jennifer and Nicholas L. Danigelis. 2002. Changing Frameworks in Attitudes Toward Abortion. Sociological Forum, Vol. 17, No. 2, 187-201. The article looks at the issue of legal abortion, and attitudes have changed over the years. The researchers examine how the determinants of abortion attitudes have changed between 1977 and 1996, using data from the General Social Surveys. There are several reasons to explain how the approval of abortion has increased between 1977 and 1996. By the 90s, abortion had been legal for two decades, the population had become more educated and more secular, and other sociodemographic trends were consistent with increasing desire for contraceptive methods. For the study, the 20 years are divided into four periods of relatively equal duration and subsample size: 1977–80, 1982–85, 1987–91, and 1993–96. From this, it is noted that early time periods, whites were more approving of abortion than blacks, that pattern had reversed by the late 1980s. As part of their research study, they used weights to control for the effects of over sampling blacks in 1982 and 1987. The dependent variable was a summated Abortion Approval Scale based on the number of “yes” answers to six situation-specific questions about abortion which ranges...

There were possibly a number of reasons for this. One point, made in this report last year, but which has clearly not been taken on board by some candidates relates to a situation, which occurred quite frequently in this paper, where a question requests that a final answer should be given to a particular level of accuracy. Time and again such a request was not complied with by a number of candidates...

...ABNORMAL EVENTS All aircraft are designed to withstand the normal flight and landing loads expected during a typical flight cycle. These loads will include the normal manoeuvres the aircraft is expected to make. The designer will build in a safety factor to compensate for loads slightly larger than normal. Sometimes extreme circumstances occur which cause stresses outside the normal design limits. If the design limits are exceeded, then damage may occur to the aircraft. If it is known or suspected that the aircraft has be en subjected to excessive loads, then an inspection should be made, to ascertain the nature of any damage that may have occurred. The manufacturer will normally have anticipated the nature of some of these occurrences and detailed special checks for these µAbnormal Occurrences¶. 1.1 T YPES OF ABNORMAL OCCURRENCES The aircraft maintenance manual will normally list the types of abnormal occurrences needing special inspection. The list may vary, depending on the aircraft. The following items are a selection from a typical aircraft: y y y y y y y y y y y Lightning strikes High-intensity radiated fields penetration Heavy or overweight landing Flight through severe turbulence Burst tyre Flap or slat over-speed Flight through volcanic ash Tail strike Mercury spillage Dragged engine or e ngine seizure High-energy stop. 1.2 T YPES OF DAMAGE It is not intended to describe the types of damage applicable to every type of occurrence.

The Researcher Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Security is essential for both residential property and commercial property in this day and age – and many people are turning to security guards. Security guards are not police, they work for private companies, usually to provide 24/7 protection of assets, and occasionally, people. They are able to focus their entire effort to this task, as they are not patrolling, checking drivers for various infractions or anything else that police do. Businesses would be wide open to criminal activity without security officers, because there would be little protection...
