Assignments: All assignments are (in general) excuseable but not makeupable.
Q1 1.15. How is this image (of Ruth Snyder executed) important?
Q2 1.24. How do the images and charts complement each other?
Q3. 1.29. What does the graffiti image (about capitalism) mean?
Q4. 1.31. Should the graffiti project have worked?
Q5. 2.05. How can a photograph be a tool for social reform?
Q6. 2.10. Why are these (abandoned) places important, and why do people go there?
Q7. 2.21. How are we (in) the media?
Q8. 2.26. What is your reaction to the police/violence module?
Q9. 2.28. In lieu of class, watch "Inside Extinction Rebellion" 24mins, and discuss how their protests use 'the image'.
Q10. 3.14. How do riots move? "... social media allow information to spread, and looping of images to external audiences...causes a wave of anger that leaves change in its destruction of hateful systems... it shocks people into action and acknowledging uncomfortable truths...caused by factors such as social deprivation alongside policing actions seen to be excessive... they are visual disruptions that aim to cause change and express anger..."




research projects:

CrimeMedia -- 2 sspaced pages with picture, webrefs, no subtitles; the idea of looking at how the media influences public perceptions of crime, etc. is a good one, especially in a highly mediated society; including some examples would help, and using subtitles will help develop themes; overall, good, could be developed more. C 65% 13/20 project: 9 dspaced pages including titlepage, subtitles, pictures, and refspage; the discussion of how the media can distort issues and influence public perceptions is clear and concise, with good examples; one aspect that could be developed more is how the media can also spur people into action, as with the George Floyd case; overall, excellent work. A- 24/30 80%

Graffitti -- 2 people; 5 sspaced pages (!) including titlepage, refspage, pictures, and subtitles; the idea of graffiti as either an artform or a nuisance isn't necessarily an either/or, altho places which criminalize it usually end up with bad graffiti, and the opposite is also true; overall, this shows a lot of work already; excellent. A 85 17/20 project: 2 people, 13 slides, 8 with content (too short); slides 9-13 seem to be for design; good topic, and good treatment, especially the cultural crim angle, and the broken windows theory could be discussed more; putting in more examples from the BUMP project would have been interesting; overall, good topic, needs to be developed more for 2 people. B- 21/30 70%

PoliceSocMedia -- 3 dspaced pages including titlepage, subtitles, refspage; idea that social media influences public perceptions is good; including some examples would help fill out the analysis... maybe looking at BLM, social media?; overall, good topic, could be developed more. B- 70% 14/20 redo: 5 pgs, with examples. excellent A- 80% 16/20 project: 13 slides with titlepage, 2 refs slides, pictures, subtitles, and all the text on the slides but none in the notes -- this makes for cluttered slides and a short essay; there is some reference to social media, but no proof that this effects public attitudes -- for that there needs to be more detail; overall, some stylistic redo, and more analysis would strengthen the essay. C+ 20/30 67%

CrimeScene -- 4 dspaced pages with subtitles, good refs, and gory photos; at one point it is said that the photo is immune from emotional judgment, and then at another that it can trigger emotional reactions in the jury -- the latter is probably more true; this suggests some of the nuances of the crime scene photo; excellent beginning. A-80%16/20 project: 16 slides with titlepage, images, refsslide, and text in notes; the mini 'study' clearly demonstrated the power of the image on the mock jury; overall, excellent understanding of the issues, shows a lot of work. A 26/30 85%

Hernandez -- 6 dspaced pages including titlepage, refspage, subtitles, and pictures; the physical case is central, and it is framed by visuals (camera stills, mugshots, perp walk, brain scan, etc); this is an unusual case, and really illustrates how the physical and visual combine; good beginning. B 75% 15/20  project: 24 slides with all the text on the slides and none in the notes, which makes for a short essay and cluttered slides; the central idea that the media visually constructs crime is good; overall, good case and good treatment; expanding the essay component overall would strengthen the analysis. B 22.5 75%

Stereotypes -- 2 sspaced pages including subtitles, references; the idea that media create/perpetuate stereotypes of crime is important, as it can re/create racism etc; in this way the media is an incomplete and (sometimes) inaccurate source of info, which perhaps increases with social media; overall, good beginning (and example). B-70%14/20 project: 9 slides including titleslide and refsslide, with a lot of text on the slides and some in the notes; there are also a couple links to media videos; concepts are explained well, and could be more explicitly tied to a subject; overall, good on theory, could have some practical application. B- 21/30 70%

TedBundy -- 4sspaced pages including titlepage, photos, subtitles, and references; it is unclear how this is a visual project (media coverage?), perhaps more could be made of the fact that there was a move to televise his execution by Phil Donahue; overall, good topic, and needs to be re-presented as a visual one. C- 60% 12/20 project: 17 slides including titleslide and refsslide, all visuals no text on slides; this is a story about a serial killer, and there are several paces where the visual aspect could be emphasized more, such as photos, visual evidence, etc. C+ 20/30 67% 

StreetArt -- 3 sspaced pages (too long) with subtitles, references; the idea that graffiti is both vandalism and (potentially) an art form, stimulating discussions about public space is a good one; Halifax developed a model of (permitted) street art which might be looked at; overall, excellent beginning. A- 80% 16/20 project: 13 slides with titlepage, subtittles, art, and refs; there is too much text on the slides and none in the notes, which makes for cluttered slides and a short essay, so the content could be better distributed across slides and notes; the writeup is good, and more examples from the Kansas project, and perhaps an artist mentioned, Basquiat, would add more value to the content; overall, excellent work, should be redesigned to make slides less cluttered. A- 24/30 80%

CrimePhoto -- 5 sspaced pages (too long), with subtitles, photos, and references; the scope of the project needs to be narrowed down, as there is too much to cover in the scope of the project, unless the number of examples is reduced; overall, sophisticated treatment of the topic, needs to be made more manageable. A- 80% 16/20
 
SocialMedia -- 4 sspaced pages including titlepage, refspage, and subtitles; there are a lot of good ideas here about the vale/danger of social media, such as identifying suspects in criminal cases; using more specific examples would develop the analysis more; overall, good beginning, could be more specific. B 75% 15/20 project: 16 slides, with all the text on the slides and none in the notes, which made their reading difficult; a lot of the work is fairly general, but the case studies at the end are ineresting and useful; overall, good, 'new' topic, could be designed for better reading. B 22.5/30 75%
10
Courtroom -- 3 dspaced pages including subtitles, charts (not explained), and references; the scope of the proposal is very broad, and it is difficult to determine what the focus/topic will be; it is very wide-ranging, and using examples would help; overall, should be narrowed down, and made more specific. C- 60% 12/20  project: 4 dspaced pages including refspage; the topic is good, and there has been a lot of interest in how the courtroom is effected by visual evidence; at 4 pages this needs to be developed more, as the essay should be 7-10 pages; there should be references for the 2 court cases cited; overall, good topic, could be developed more. D 17/30 57%

FredGraf -- 8 dspaced pages (too long), including titlepage, 2 refspages, subtitles, and pictures; the idea of looking at Fredericton street art is a good one, and doable, and more local examples would buoy the contention that there might be discriminatory findings; overall, just go out and collect them! good beginning. B 75% 15/20 project: 26 slides showing acollection of graffiti from around the city; minimal text in the notes makes comments about the graffiti; there could be more analysis overall, but this shows a lot of initiative and fun and effort. B+ 23/30 77%

TrueCrime -- 4 sspaced pages (too long) including subtitles, pictures, and references; there are several examples of crime docs which exaggerate or distort criminal issues, altho the viewers would not know (?) that was happening; the consequence might be false or exaggerated ideas, which might be the norm. good beginning B 75% 15/20 project: 18 slides, including titleslide and refsslide; most of the text is on the slides not in the notes, which makes for 'busy' slides and a short essay; true crime, so-called, has been a big part of tv and movies, discusing some examples in more depth would add to the analysis; overall, great topic, and good treatment, although since it is short it could be developed more. B 22.5/30 75%

CrimeDocs --  4 dspaced pages including subtitles, pictures, and web-references; looking at true crime documentaries as reviewing a case to get at previously hidden elements is a good idea, and there are lots of examples; the idea of 'expose' might be useful to label what is happening; overall, good topic, good beginning. B- 70% 14/20 project: 12 dspaced doc, with subtitles, no titlepage, some web refs; integrating the word doc and the ppt slides would make for better reading; and the visual aspect of the documentaries (etc) could be played up more; overall, good work. B 22.5 75%

Surveillance -- 3 sspaced pages including subtitles, references; several topics are discussed: video surveillance, facial recognition cameras, ALPRs, and drones; these are  reality of modern life, and perhaps developing a theme to connect them would build the analysis, eg. 'stranger-economy', modern alienation, etc. B- 70% 14/20 project: 17 slides in total, with all the text on the slides, leading up to a section on modern alienation; there doesn't appear to be any text in the notes, so the essay component is short; however the topics are good, eg. bodycams, drones, and the ending section on alienation is good; overall, good treatment of the topic, and could develop the essay component more. B+ 23/30 77%
15
PoliceForce -- 4 dspaced pages including subtitles, pictures, and refspage; the topic of police violence against native people, as explored through art and demonstration is a powerful one; the examples are good, and the analysis is explicit; overall, excellent beginning. A 85% 26/30 project: 35 slides (too long); all the text is on the slides except for some links in the notes; interesting cases, and the interpretation of visuals is centre stage; developing the essay component more would add to the analysis; overall, excellent work, and could be developed more. A- 24/30 80%

Evidence -- 3 dspaced pages including pictures, refspage; visual evidence is an important tool for investigation and prosecution; it is both objective and (sometimes) open to interpretation; outlining the usefulness of the visual in specific cases might help build the analysis more; overall, interesting topic, good beginning. B- 70% 14/20 project: 21 slides including titleslide, subtitles, many visuals, and all the text with none in the notes, which makes for crowded slides and a short essay; a comprehensive overview of many ways in which the visual is useful/problematic in court; overall, excellent work, should develop the essay angle more. A- 24/30

BodyCams -- 5 dspaced pages, including subtitles, pictures, and refspage; the use of body cameras is not universal, and the problems of cost and storage are not easily solved; narrowing the objectives and issues down to develop key issues would focus analysis better, eg. use in investigation; good topic, overly broad. B- 70% 14/20  project: 14 slides, including titleslide and refsslide; minimal text on the slides, expanded in the notes, good visuals; the issue of bodycams is a recent one, and a good topic, especially as the rcmp are adopting the technology nationwide; more on the controversy over its use would make it more critical; overall, good work, could be developed more. B 22.5 75% 

Trafficking -- 3 sspaced pages including subtitles, references; human trafficking is an important topic in today's globalized, changing society, and focusing on visual campaigns to educate and help push to abolish it is a good angle; excellent topic, and beginning. A 85% 17/20 project: 12 slides with images, text in notes, and videolinks; good understanding how some campaigns are effective because they have stories, faces... visuals are deliberate emotional tools, and effect action; overall, this is succinct, summarizes some successful strategies of campaigns, and presents the issues well; excellent work. A 85% 26/30

MoreGraf -- 4 dspaced pages including subtitles, references; there are many different issues here, and perhaps a strong theme is 'resistance'... developing the theoretical angle of why the visual is important will deepen the study of graffiti; overall, good topic, could be developed more analytically. B- 70% 14/20 redo. 3.31. now 5 dspaced pages, with more focus on the resistance angle, and 3 appropriate (visual) examples. excellent work. A- 80% 16/20 project: 10 dspaced pages, including titlepage, refspage, and 4 image pages; the analysis is straightforward and uses  theoretical approaches to understand the significance of graffiti as other than vandalism; the images should be incorporated into the text to make for a more seamless read; overall, excellent work. A- 24/30 80%
20
Lombroso -- 2 sspaced text, well-written, with subtitles, and academic references page; an original take on the assignment, and in fact there is much that is visual in early crim, mapping for example; overall, good choice of topic, could have more examples, excellent beginning. A 85% 26/30  project: 24 slides including titleslide and refsslide; slides are designed well for reading, altho in some cases there are too any words, and t could be simplified more; in some cases slides are supported by text in the notes (although uneven); the visual angle could be stressed more, eg. how lombrosian theory looked for stigmata or signs, to beccaria and his work on 'types', and to sheldon's work on somatyped, etc., or even more on his work, on tattoos, for example; overall, good work, could be developed more. B+ 23/30 77%

GrafArt -- 4 dspaced pages with subtitles, academic references; the discussion is largely academic, whether graf is art or protest or both or something else; including some examples would 'illustrate' the issues more; overall, quite good, could be developed more. B 75% 15/20 rewrite: 5 pages, now includes pictures and video about Toronto street art; excellent summation of the issues. A 85% 17/20 project: 11 slides, with text and pictures; essay is in the notes; developing more examples of how graffiti can be educational or restorative would really add to the analysis; overall, a bit short, could benefit from more examples. B- 21/30 70%

TrueCrimeDocs -- 2 sspaced pages with subtitles and pictures, and academic references; a bit general, but raises some good issues, for example, that true crime docs can be educational or sensationalistic, truthful or not, etc., but that they have an effect on the public (audience); good overview. B 75% 15/20 redo: 3.24. there are a lot of topics here, and the preliminary analysis shows a sophistication of the issues; many of these cases/issues should probably have only one slide to fit it all into 20; keep the analytic theme front and centre, and it should be interesting; excellent work, thanks for redoing. A 85% 26/30 project: there are many examples of true crime docs, from ballads to podcasts, to film, and so on; the significance of these media forms is well explained,and might benefit from building up the psychological angle more; overall, excellent work, could work up the analysis more. A- 24/30 80%

DecrimGraf -- 2 dspaced pages with subtitles, plus academic references; this is well-written, and takes a practical and more academic view of street art than the typical response of vandalism; using examples will be important, and maybe look at cities where it is tolerated, eg. Halifax; overall, good beginning. B 15/20 75% project: 12 dspaced pages including titlepage, refspage, subtitles, and images; thoughtful overview of attitudes toward graffiti, and the subsequent policies which develop, which themselves can become problematic, and using brazil is a nice example; overall excellent work. A 85% 26/30

GeorgeFloyd -- 2 people; 6 dspaced pages with subtitles, pictures, titlepage, and refspage; good topic, as it was covered well in street art. social media, and mainstream media; it probably had more impact because of the visuals than it would have had otherwise; excellent topic, good beginning. A- 80% 16/20 project: 2 people; 20 slides with some text in the notes (doesn't seem enough for an essay), titleslide and 2 refsslides; the analysis of social media, and of how hashtags spread information around the world sparking protests is excellent; overall, good analysis, should develop the essay component more. A- 24/30 
25
PretrialMedia -- 4 sspaced pages including pictures, subtitles, and excellent refspage; there are two cases discussed, Dr. Shepherd and Mount Cashel, either would suffice, but together they point to the 'problem' of pretrial publicity, and its effect on legal proceedings despite legal issues; overall, excellent topic and well written. A+ 90% 18/20 project: 11 pages including titlepage, subtitles, and references; the text is also in the notes section of a 20 pg powerpoint; there are several cases, any one of which could be focused on solely, and perhaps in more depth; the mount cashel story stands out for public bias which could never hope to be totally eradicated from deliberation; overall, this shows a lot of work, excellent. A 85% 26/30

TVandCrime -- 4 dspaced pages with subtitles, pictures, and refspage; as stated, it is important to realize that crime media might be the only source of information about crime, so a person/public would never know whether it was accurate or not; a bit general, could use more examples, but a good beginning. B 75% 15/20  project: 13 slides with minimal information and pictures on slides, and some text in the notes; the visuality of tv is very believable, and certainly can effect what the audience thinks of crime and control; developing that essay angle more would make for a stronger essay; overall, good work, could be developed more. B 22.5/30 75%

CrimeMapping -- 3 dspaced pages with subtitles, picture, and also a refspage; a general discussion of crime mapping and how it reinforces (perceptions of) inequality, which goes back to the Chicago School and their map with the 'zone of transition'; overall, good topic, needs examples. B+ 77% 15.5/20 project: 13 dspaced pages including titlepage, refspage, subtitles, and multiple images; good use of a critical approach to look at spatial predictive crime models, and to suggest that biased data gets reproduced in profiling based policing; overall, excellent work, (images could be larger). A 26/30 85%

Photos -- 4 dspaced pages with subtitles, pictures, and refspage; the photo is important as a record of events, as a reminder of things forgotten or brushed aside, and as a way of rating the importance of social issues; using examples will help develop the analysis more, but this is a good beginning. B- 70% 14/20 project: 7 dspaced pages (short) with subtitles, photos, and refspage; the idea of looking at photos and judging their impact, etc., is a good idea; using more images of similar of the same event would help develop the analysis more; overall, good work, could develop the philosphical/psychological angles more.

MediaonCrime -- 3 sspaced pages with subtitles, pictures, and refspage; the writeup is fairly general, but does raise questions about the reliability of the news media, and how the public uses it as an information source; the Tyson example is good, developing that more would be a good centrepoint for the analysis; good beginning. B- 70% 14/20 project: 13 slides, with titlepage, refspage, subtitles, and essay text in notes; this starts off mostly on crime media and social perceptions, and while it can be inferred that the media coverage strongly incorporates visuals in its shows and stories, more explicit of the visual angle would make the analysis stronger; overall, good work, good topic, could develop the visual angle more explicitly.

CourtPhotos -- 4 dspaced pages with subtitles, photo, and 2 refs; this is a very legalistic discussion of the use of crime scene photographs, and probably has its basis in legal decisions of the past; in a sense, they help to re/construct the crime scene; overall, clear, and could use some history? good beginning. B 75% 15/20 project: 11 slides, a bit short, including titleside and refsslide; most of the text is in the notes, and the slides are designed quite well; the distinctions brought out about victims, crime scenes, etc., are excellent, eg. a photo's prejudicial value couldn't outweigh its probative value; overall, excellent work, could be developed more in length. A- 24/30 80%

LatinBias -- 3 pages with pictures, subtitles, and references; this is a really interesting idea, that the global north might portray the global south negatively as more criminal -- is this only self-serving or does it serve a deeper purpose such as preserving inequalities? overall, good beginning, great topic. A- 80% 16/20 project: 16 slides of varying design, with all the text on the slides and none in the notes -- this make for a short essay, and slides that are crowded and difficult to read; however, the analysis is interesting, and persuasive, and shows perhaps how there is an ideological component of North/South relations; overall, novel, and excellent. A- 24/30 80%

LewisHine -- 4 sspaced pages (too long), with subtitles, photos, and references; an excellent summary of Hine's work, and describing his work as photo activism is quite appropriate; in retrospect it is almost as if he is documenting crimes against children, in that laws had to be passed to end child labour. excellent beginning. A 85% 17/20 project: 16 slides, well arranged, with photos, and text in the notes; good overview of his work, and citing the dates that legislation was passed is a good addition to that summary; overall, the project is well designed and explains his work well. A- 24/30 80%

Cesare -- 4 dspaced pages including titlepage, refspage, subtitles, and pictures; interesting idea, to mix in pictures of the wrongfully convicted with mugshots of actual criminals, to then determine if they can be visually picked out; it's similar to research on 'trustworthy' faces; overall, good beginning. B 75% 15/20 project: 23 slides including web refsslide and titleslide; all the text is on the slides and none in the notes, which makes for cluttered slides and a short essay; this is a good topic, and it certainly shows the classist side of traditional criminology -- the epilepsy angle is strange, and could be explained more; who are the participants referred to, and how were photos selected -- this angle cold be explained more; overall, this is a classic topic, and could be developed more, and the methodology side explained more.

ZoneTheory -- 3 dspaced pages including titlepage, refspage, and subtitles; there are two theories here, the zone mapping, and the border issues; it is okay to compare the two cities, but the fentanyl issue is a political hot potato right now, and not very credible; overall, needs to be narrowed down more and reworked. C- 60 12/20 project: 6 dspaced pages including titlepage and refspage, no subtitles, one visual; the topic is now mugshots, and the topic is social control; developing concepts more, eg. 'spoiled identity' would make the analysis more substantial, especially as the essay is short -- this would help develop the concept of stigma; overall, good topic. C- 18/30 60%

BostonBombing -- 5 dspaced pages including titlepage, refspage, subtitles, and a picture; interesting topic, and it certainly shows the value of photos in  solving crime, however it is unclear whether it is surveillance or civilian photos; overall, good topic, very factual, could use more development of the analysis. B- 70% 14/20 project: 15slides with pictures, no text on the slides, all in the notes; the theme of video surveillance is strong throughout the story, and could be emphasized more as the story tends to be the strongest theme; however, overall, this is a good example of the power of surveillance in modern society.

StreetGraf -- 4 dspaced pages, with subtitles, refs, and many pictures; straightforward topic, and it would be good to use memorial photos as much as possible, just to localize it; halifax has a similar policy, with designated graffiti zones; overall, good beginning, good topic, and develop the analysis of self-expression. B 75% 15/20 project: 13 slides, with visuals, text in the notes, and also a 7 page dspaced essay; the overall analysis could be strengthened more, eg. political resistance; overall, good work, could develop the analysis more. B 22.5/30 75%

VideoGames -- 3 dspaced pages, including refspage, and subtitles; this is an interesting topic, as it is usually analyzed in terms of deviance; the issue is framed as 'bad or not', similar to the discussion around crime comics in the 1950s; perhaps the issue doesn't change, just what gets blamed; include visuals! B- 70% 14/20 project: 16 slides with pictures and some text; main text is in the notes; several games are reviewed with some discussion of their problems, and perhaps some solutions; those discussions are fairly general, perhaps some statistics on extent of use, and/or some quotations from those who are (un)/concerned would detail the analysis more; overall, good topic, good review, could add in more analytic detail. B- 21/30 70% 

SocMedia -- 10 dspaced pages (too many), with extensive use of spacing (not necessary); listing points should be replaced with summaries, to make the analysis more readable; there are also a lot of theories, eg. Foucault, Cohen, perhaps focus on one and develop it; overall, the argument could be restructured, made clearer. C 65% 13/20 project: 14 slides including titleslide and refsslide; slides hav interesting design, with minimal text, and sometimes only a sentence in the notes, which makes for a short essay; some concepts, such as mediatization theory, are good, and could be developed more; overall, good treatment of an interesting topic, and more development would make the essay more substantial. B- 21/30 70%

MoreCesare -- 3 dspaced pages, including refspage; the connection between lombrosian theory and eugenics is interesting, especially in that it claims to be able to identify the visual characteristics of the inferior; good beginning, as is the use of nicole rafter, and the concept of 'weaponization'. B 75% 15/20 project: 16 slides, with most of the text on the slides not in the notes, which makes for difficult to read slides and a short essay; the references look incomplete, some lacking titles; overall, the connection between what lombroso studied and current events is good, and reorganizing the text would make the essay stronger; excellent work. A- 24/30 80%

BodycamsII -- 4 dspaced pages with subtitles, picture, and references; good initial coverage of the issue; the rcmp is rolling out cameras nationwide, so it might be interesting to look at how they are framing the issue; good beginning, could use more discussion of issues. B- 70% 14/20 project: 10 slides including titleslide and refsslide (references are incomplete); no text in notes, so short on the essay component; the issues raised in the text certainly support the view that this reflects current issues; overall, while this raises good points, it also needs to be developed more as an essay to better show what those issues are. C+ 20/30 67%

Mullins -- 5 pages dspaced including subtitles and refspage; the proposal lays out the basic issue, the prejudicial effect of (improperly analysed) photos; more discussion of the research in this area would strengthen the analysis; overall, good topic, could be developed more. B- 70% 14/20  project: 7 dspaced pages, no subtitles or pictures, pus one refspage; a review of the case, and the role that photos had; overall, good on the theme, could have incorporated some stylistic elements, eg. photos.

Drug Crisis -- late 4.11; 2 pages single spaced with points on how the drug crisis is portrayed, with web-references and photo; rough, could be developed more. C 65 13/20  project: rough notes... resent: 16 slides, including titleslide and 3 refsslides; there is a lot of text on the slides and none in the notes, which makes for cluttered slides and a short essay; there is some detail here that is interesting, such as the historical anti-drug campaigns; the photo-voice project is also very interesting; working on the 'media' theme more would strengthen the analysis, but there is some important issues here.
