criminal justice activities

 

ACTIVITY 4 – EPA Fugitives:

Check out the EPA fugitives at https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/epa-fugitives. Categorize them based on (a) whether they are white-collar offenders, (b) the type of offense they committed, and (c) the harm from their offenses. What patterns do you see regarding gender, race, age, geography, etc? What other general thoughts/reactions/insights do you have about their crimes or environmental crimes generally? What do you think can or should be done to respond to environmental white-collar crimes?

This should be the standard 2-3 double spaced pages.

ACTIVITY 5 – Watch a Movie!

Since we're all social distancing, I figure for our last activity, how about you watch a movie about white-collar crime and give me a 2-3 page, double-spaced, write up and reaction - pretty free form, but not just a summary of the movie. Think about themes and concepts you've learned about over the semester - what did you see illustrated, do you understand the crime better now. I'm open to suggestions for movies, but here are a couple that you could find to stream somewhere:
