purse-snatching

Purse-Snatchings: In most incidents, two thieves on a motorcycle speed up from behind a victim, and the passenger on the back snatches a purse, handbag, or cellular phone. Thieves have also conducted snatch-thefts while leaning out of the passenger side of moving vehicles. These thefts can occur at all hours and often in front of large groups of witnesses, even in upscale neighborhoods frequented by expatriates. Women walking by themselves or with small children are the most common targets, but men walking or jogging alone have also been targeted. Victims have been injured and even killed after falling and being dragged by thieves in cars or on motorcycles. More recently, some thieves carrying knives have slashed and cut the victim in order to shock the victim into immediately releasing valuable items.

what is a crime? why do people commit crimes?

Why do people commit crimes?

1. economic power
2. jealousy
3. fear
4. peer pressure
5. failure
6. Necessity: If you are extremely poor and have to steal for instance.
7. Convenience: While looking at an expensive diamond ring on a jewelry counter and the clerk walks away.
8. Emotional: Hate crimes are on the increase and can be associated with this, also "crimes of passion" when a person kills there spouse and lover are often due to the extreme emotions of the situation.
9. Ignorance of the Law: Sometimes you don't even know your breaking a certain law.
10. Mental Illness: Many people who have mental health problems can't truly understand that what they are doing is breaking a law. Often similar to #4 (Ignorance). Can also be less severe like with shoplifting which is often a crime based on emotional issues rather than necessity.
11. Pre-Disposition: Some people's personalities and life choices will prompt them to lead a life of crime. Repeat offenders.
12. Environmental: If a child grows up believing that certain criminal activity is acceptable (drug dealing, prostitution, cheating on taxes, etc.) it can often enhance their potential for crime. Also, sometimes when people are involved in "group" crimes there are those who really didn't want to participate but only do so because they have a need for belonging.

tips on feedback on Prezi

Do you think you have been giving good feedback?

Well to tell you the truth. No.

as you can see i only wrote 2-3 word. And it did not mean anything. It did not even relate to the blog post or anything. I have been doing this... for the past 5 years of my life. Commenting on pictures, blogs, saying it's " awesome layout!" or " Nice words.. "

And i never did really understand the meaning of "feedback"

Not till today.

Go back to one of your peer's blogs. Add a 'good feedback' comment. On your blog explain what you said and why you think is a better

r way of giving feedback. What do you think your peer will have gained from this?

I think i have shown a good feedback.

I have showed motivation, things they did good. But i didn't put what they did wrong. (well thats cause her blogs so amazing. :D )

http://kaisong95.blogspot.com<- should really check it out.

Using the video explain why blogs are a good way to give feedback

Blogs are like journals, portfolio. Case Studies carried out in on students in New South Wales found out that usually when students are given work to do, they go home still do not understand what they are suppose to do. Studies found out that blogs are like your own personal diary. And you can re-read it, re-write it which is part of the learning process. They can also look at their friends blog to see what they have done and so on. You can see how you are processing from bad to good and also look at people blogs to see the process that they've gone through. You can post discussions, comments, pictures, ratings. They use all sorts of ways to present their final work, their thoughts.

In addition to that is, it shows that the "comment" on blogs is the best way for giving feedbacks to your friends. Sometimes we aren't able to say things infront of their face, so we do it cyberly. And this leads to commenting on people work, helping them to improve, supporting and motivate them in which ever way possible.

Case study showed that this is a way for getting your thoughts down, your ideas. It also shows communication in the internet. I explained that some people can't say things in real life, but they can on internet. So i would say that the idea on blogs are really useful for people who doesn't really talk/participate in class. Blog introduction is a way to introduce yourself. You can help one another, link ideas, share ideas through internet.

Produce a table/diagram/presentation showing examples of good and bad feedback

Good Feedbacks

• Are good because you can know what you did good
• are good because you can know what you can improve
• you can know what you did wrong
• you are motivated, support by others in giving you feedbacks which makes you want to make it better

Bad Feedbacks

• If you're just here to give one sentence about the persons work, then you're wrong. " It's nice" or " You can do better" or " you did something wrong". This Isnt going to help. " It's nice" what's nice?! " you can do better" well what did I/you/he/she do wrong then? and what did i do good? " you did something wrong". What did i do wrong? my font? my colour? my page layout? or my words and the way I use it or is my research wrong?
• Bad feedbacks aren't going to help your friends anywhere. They wont know what they did wrong, they dont know why is it good, they dont even know what they did good. So no improvements from there.
