Deviance

Your task for the post boil down the article into the most important parts, illustrate connections to the material from class.  Start by taking a couple of paragraphs and summarizing the article.  This should generally take about two solid paragraphs. 

A third paragraph should be spent giving your own reaction to the material.  Talk 

about why you chose it, what (if anything) was interesting about it, what the 

implications of the findings are or how they could be implemented into policy, and, 

if possible, relate it to anything that we have covered in the course.  Finally, provide a link to the article so any masochistic nerds can read the whole thing.

1. Must be at least 750 words.

2. Demonstration of having read the article

3. Ability to effectively summarize the piece with a 

sociological/critical perspective

4. Relating the material from the article with course 

concepts, theories, and perspectives

5. Completeness of post (don’t skimp)
