Submission & Rubric
Description
Follow the news for at least one (1) day, noting the stories involving
criminal activity. You could follow any source of news (e.g., radio,
TV, newspaper, website) or combination of sources. Just be sure
to note the source in your notes, as it could shape the framing of
the story. Make observations related to gender. As examples, how
many of the stories involve women as victims? Men as victims?
Women as perpetrators of crime? Men as perpetrators of crime?
What were the crimes described, and how are they patterned by
gender? Do the descriptions of the events (or framing of the story)
relate in any way to gender? Bring responses to the following
questions to our discussion.
1. Describe any gender-related patterns you see in your data.
Which are consistent with those discussed in the chapter?
Were there any unexpected patterns? (40 points)
2. Provide an explanation for the gender-rated patterns that
you observed in your data. As you offer explanations, be
sure to draw on material in the chapter. (40 points)
3. Respond to at least one other participant’s post. As always,
you should make a substantive contribution to the thread.
