...HOW MIGHT THE LABELLING OF ACTIVITIES AS ‘DEVIANT’ SERVE AS A FORM OF SOCIAL CONTROL? Deviancy is considered any behaviour to violate cultural norms and it is essentially split between two formations; formal deviancy (crime) and informal deviancy (social). Social control is a product of social learning via labeling strategies, it is composed of both informal and formal mechanisms and maintains that the exploitation of socialization and social learning contributes to the individual building of self-control, and in the reduction divergent behaviour. Both controls enforce labeling as a sanction to shame the supposedly deviant character; it infers that the individual has earned disapproval from society due to failed expectations of behaviour. Labeling theorists propose that criminality comes from the response to behaviour as an alternative to actual violation of the law (Wellford, 1975), this is evident in society’s acceptance of illegal downloading despite the sanctions and group in powers values. Durkheim views this defiance as a necessity to an ever changing society where deviance is of use to maintaining functionality, social constancy and collective consciousness, when this is absent anomie is said to arise. Labelling theory holds much of the same stance as conflict theory in emphasising the power of social groups and social control in expectations and stigmatisation. Where the delegation of labels creates sub-groups within society each group is anticipated to fulfil certain...

You will learn how to lay out a form and set various properties to change the appearance and behavior of controls. Programming topics include clearing TextBox controls, changing text color, concate INTRODUCTION Chapter 2 In-Class Project The in-class project for this chapter uses numerous controls. You will build a project form that is similar to that shown below. It will include the following new controls: TextBox MaskedTextBox GroupBox RadioButton CheckBox PictureBox GroupBox Control A GroupBox control is used to group or contain other controls. It is used to organize a form into different sections and this can make the form easier for an application user to use. Name property – most of the time you will not bother to name a GroupBox control because they are rarely referred to when you write programming code – if you were to name the control, a name such as StudentInformationGroupBox would be appropriate. Text property – displays the words in the upper left corner of the GroupBox control. If you leave the Text property blank, the GroupBox looks like a rectangle. The form above has three GroupBox controls with Text property settings of Student Information, BackGround, and Text Color. TextBox and Label Controls You learned...

...MS Access 2003 Introduction to Data Base A database can help you enter data easily, find it quickly, use it to create labels or mailings, and summarize it in printed and online reports. Benefits of Using a Database A database is much more than just a list or table. It gives you true command of your data, enabling you to retrieve it, sort it, analyze it, summarize it, and report results in moments. It can combine data from various files, so that you never have to enter information twice. It can even make data entry more efficient and accurate. A key benefit of Database is avoiding the complications of multiple lists. Let's say that you're the secretary of a large hiking club. You have a list of recycling volunteers, a list of holiday party volunteers, addresses for newsletter labels, a membership list, and so on. Suppose that a club member, who appears on a number of lists, changes her e-mail for the second time this year. With only a set of lists, you'd have the tiresome job of changing that information everywhere it occurs. With a well-structured database, you'd have to change it only once. The database takes care of everything else. If you're just working with 10 or so items, then you'll probably want to create a simple list, perhaps as a worksheet in Microsoft Excel or a bulleted list or table in Microsoft Word. If your data is more complex, or changes frequently, then an Access database gives you an advantage. Relational Data base & MS Access Relationships...

...MICROSOFT ACCESS INTRODUCTION TO DATABASE SYSTEMS • A database is a collection of a logically organized data. • The basic components of any database system will comprise of records stored in files. 1. Files: A file is a large organized data structure that contains related data, such as records. Files are mainly used for storing programs and data in secondary storage. This is extremely useful since the main memory is volatile. 2. Records: Every entry of data is referred to as a record. A record is a group of related data about one item that we can treat as a single group. 3. Fields: A field is a column of similar information or groups of vertically arranged data that contain similar information of the same data type. COMPONENTS OF A DATABASE SYSTEM • A database system comprises of five major components: data, hardware, software, procedures and users. 1. Data: Data refers to the values physically recorded in the database. 2. Hardware: These are secondary storage on which the database physically resides, together with the associated I/O devices, device controllers etc 3. Software: Comprises of the Database Management System (DBMS) and application programs. The DBMS is at the heart of any database system. It allows users to store information in an ordered manner for timely and quick retrieval from the database. 4. Procedures: Instruction and rules that govern design and use of databases e.g. starting and stopping db, making backups...

... Methods, and Events? Using containers Remember that a container is an object--such as a form or the Frame or PictureBox controls--that can contain other controls. Put simply, properties describe objects. Methods cause an object to do something. Events are what happens when an object does something. Every object, such as a form or control, has a set of properties that describe it. Although this set isn't identical for all objects, some properties--such as those listed in Table 6.1--are common to most controls. You can see every property for a given control by looking at the Properties window in the IDE. TABLE 6.1 Common Properties of Visual Basic Controls Property | Description | Left | The position of the left side of a control with respect to its container | Top | The position of the top of a control with respect to its container | Height | A control's height | Width | A control's width | Name | The string value used to refer to a control | Enabled | The Boolean (True/False) value that determines whether users can manipulate the control | Visible | The Boolean (True/False) value that determines whether users can see the control | Another important property to consider is BorderStyle, which determines the window elements (title bar, Maximize and Minimize buttons, and so forth) a form will have. Table 6.2 summarizes the six BorderStyle settings; Figure 6.1 shows the same form, displayed with each setting. TABLE 6.2 The Six Settings of the BorderStyle Property Setting...

...One of the unique qualities of ASP.NET server controls is that, even though their tag syntax is different from HTML’s, every ASP.NET server control is rendered to standard HTML after being processed on the server, thus abstracting the functionality of the entire HTML control set. Additional ASP.NET server controls, provide the ability to render rich web content — for example, a Calendar control for displaying dates, a DataGrid control for displaying data, as well as other controls, which we will explore throughout this chapter. Here’s a summary of the topics we will cover in this chapter: A review of the syntax and benefits of ASP.NET server controls A brief recap of the System.Web.UI.Page lifecycle Using a variety of ASP.NET server controls on a web form. Using validation controls — you’ll learn some techniques for validating user input in a web form Introducing data rendering controls — a brief introduction to this very powerful group of controls for displaying data Presenting a complete application that allows you to incorporate your own schedule of events within the context of an ASP.NET calendar control In the past, the way we would create a web page might vary, but it would almost always involve the embedding of various HTML tags in our pages — perhaps some client-side scripting to handle event processing, or validate form input, and some text to make up the overall content of the page.

...An HTML form is a section of a document containing normal content, markup, and special elements called controls.” These controls are commonly referred to as input controls, according to the World Wide Web Consortium. There are many types of input controls that can be used in a web form. They help to provide a framework for the kind of data that will be submitted by users. Selecting the correct input control for a data field is critical. Text input, select box, radio button, and checkboxes are four examples of input controls. As pointed out by Ponce de Leon, most input controls are visual and interactive. There is also something called a hidden input control. They can be used to store system critical data, such as database key data, that the user does not need to interact with. Text type input controls are used to input text. They provide a single-line input field in which any text can be entered. The text type input controls are useful for form data such as names, street addresses, and user names. This data is viewable on the screen, so it ought to not be used for passwords. In user interface design, input controls are an integral part of any form and allows users to perform a variety of functions to ensure that input data is correct complete and secure. Data input controls ensure the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of data during its conversion from its original source into computer data, or into a computer application. Data can be entered into a computer application...

Here one is suppose to start from zero each time i.e. from the family, to the school, then to the factory and the army and in many instances the prison. In disciplinary societies the enclosures can therefore be described as molds and distinct castings. This is different in the case of control societies where the enclosures are seen as...
