It also includes a list of the high-level requirements for the project as well as the project description. It should include expected milestones and a budget. It includes the PM’s job description, with definitions of the roles and responsibilities, and clearly defines the authority levels, including reporting structure. Finally, it lists who the authorizing person(s) is and includes requirements for how different aspects of the project will be approved.In contrast, the scope document includes a description of the project and defines the project deliverables (a product or service). It defines what is in scope and what is not included in the scope of the project. It also defines the user acceptance criteria and includes constraints and assumptions for the project (Table 3.4).TABLE 3.4 Key Differences Between a Charter and Scope StatementPROJECT SCOPE PROJECT CHARTER ■Describes project■Includes the purpose and description of the project■Specifies project deliverables■Outlines measurable objectives and expected milestones■Specifies what is in scope and what is not included■Defines high-level requirements■Defines the user acceptance criteria■Lists approval requirements; sign-off authorizes the project■Lists constraints■Defines the project manager’s roles and responsibilities and the reporting structure■Lists assumptions■Contains the budget

In your opinion, do you think it’s enough evidence? Explain. Strength in Numbers TO SURVIVE CLIMATE CHANGE, WE NEED TO BUILD TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD. In the summer of 1995, a blistering heat wave settled over Chicago for three days. It killed 739 people, making it one of the most unexpectedly lethal disasters in modern American history. No statistical models of the heat wave predicted such a high death toll. Researchers in the American Journal of Public Health reported that their analysis “failed to detect relationships between the weather and mortality that would explain what happened.” Just as mysterious as the number of fatalities was the way they were distributed across the city. Several of the most deadly areas were entirely black and disproportionately poor, but so were three of the least deadly. Adjacent areas that looked alike-like Englewood and Auburn Gresham, two hyper-segregated black South Side neighborhoods with high poverty and crime-suffered vastly different effects. Scientists who study urban breakdowns like this usually focus on hard-line infrastructure: electrical grids, transit networks, communications systems, water lines, and the like. And to be sure, Chicago’s aging infrastructure was woefully equipped for extreme heat. The power grid failed, leaving tens of thousands without air conditioning. Roads buckled and drawbridges locked, leading to gridlock and long ambulance response times. But those failures blanketed the entire city; they didn’t explain the patchwork death toll. As a young sociologist who grew up in Chicago, I wanted to figure out why the heat wave killed who it did, where it did. So I set out to examine those pairs of “neighboring neighborhoods” that should have fared similarly but didn’t. Englewood and Auburn Gresham may have looked similar on paper. But when I got to know them at street level, they came to look like different worlds. Englewood had been hemorrhaging for decades: first the employers; next the banks, groceries, and restaurants; finally the people. Residents described the area as “bombed out” and “abandoned.” Empty lots, boarded-up houses, and broken, uneven sidewalks discouraged people from going outside, especially older people. During the heat wave, the residents of Englewood tended to hunker down in the safety of their homes-which became brick ovens. Englewood’s death rate was among the highest in the city. Auburn Gresham, on the other hand, never lost its core institutions or its people. Stores, restaurants, community organizations, and churches animated its streets, and people hung out on the sidewalks. Older people there belonged to block clubs; residents assured me they knew who they had to keep tabs on during the heat wave. Auburn Gresham has long been regarded as one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago; but its death rate, three per 100,000, was among the lowest in the heat wave-far lower, in fact, than many of the wealthy white neighborhoods across town. Throughout the city, the variable that best explained the pattern of mortality during the Chicago heat wave was what people in my discipline call social infrastructure. Places with active commercial corridors, a variety of public spaces, local institutions, decent sidewalks, and community organizations fared well in the disaster. More socially barren places did not. Turns out neighborhood conditions that isolate people from each other on a good day can, on a really bad day, become lethal. This is important, because climate change virtually guarantees that, in the next century, major cities all over the world will endure longer, more frequent, and more intense heat waves-along with frankenstorms, hurricanes, blizzards, and rising seas. And it’s inevitable that cities will take steps to fortify themselves against this future. The first instinct of urban leaders is often to harden their cities through engineering and infrastructure, much of which is indeed pretty vital. But research keeps reinforcing the lessons of Englewood and Auburn Gresham. Just as the temperature of a heat wave, the height of a storm surge, or the thickness of a levee, it’s the strength of a neighborhood that determines who lives and who dies in a disaster. Building against climate change can either support vibrant neighborhood conditions or undermine them. We know how to do both. In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy smashed into New York. With 30-foot waves and 14-foot surges, the storm killed 24 people on Staten Island alone, ripped into the Jersey shore, and swamped lower Manhattan, one of the most densely populated zones in the US and home to thousands of public housing units, massive hospitals, major underground transit hubs, and several of the world’s largest corporations and financial institutions. When a major electrical substation in the East Village took on 4 feet of water, it exploded and snuffed out power for about 250,000 people below midtown. The outage left some of the most impoverished and some of the most affluent people in the city alike stranded on high floors of apartment buildings without water, electricity, or elevator service for nearly a week. Like the Chicago heat wave, Sandy turned up evidence for the importance of social infrastructure. A study conducted by the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center and the Associated Press showed that residents of neighborhoods with low levels of social cohesion-as measured by how much people said they trusted their neighbors-reported longer recovery times. Much of the initial response to the storm, however, focused on hard infrastructure. Prominent climate scientists and engineers called for vast, colossally expensive seawalls around big cities and on coast lines. Even in pure engineering terms, sea gates and seawalls can impart a false sense of security: They can accelerate coastal erosion, and if they fail, they can fail catastrophically. They also erode the quality of neighborhoods; when an oceanfront area turns into a fortress, people lose their connections to the water, and street life dries up. Who wants to live behind an enormous seawall? (Plus, storm surge has to go somewhere. Who wants to live where the wall ends?) Luckily, officials have started to embrace the idea that social infrastructure is as essential to resilience as the hard stuff. In 2013, I started serving-at the behest of the White House-as the research director for an international competition called Rebuild by Design. The competition’s purpose was to allocate around $1 billion for major projects that would make the areas affected by Sandy more resilient against climate change and serve as pilots for the rest of the country. And a major requirement of the competition was that the projects should improve social infrastructure. WHEN THE FLOODS COME, NEIGHBORS ARE THE TRUE FIRST RESPONDERS. The six winning plans were announced in 2014. The highest-profile project, by architect Bjarke Ingels and the BIG Team along with One Architecture, essentially swathes lower Manhattan in a fortress of storm protection disguised as a smorgasbord of public space. The portion of the design proposed for the Lower East Side-which is, for now, the only funded part of the project-lines the waterfront with lushly planted berms that give pedestrians easier access to a slew of amenities on the water’s edge. The berms, which are 18.5 feet at their peak, absorb storm surges when necessary, but their everyday function is just as important: serving as parklands and recreational areas for people who live in an especially gray and unpleasant part of an especially gray city. Another winning design-far more low-key and far less expensive-will subtly transform the coastline of Staten Island. Being directly exposed to the Atlantic, Staten absorbed waves so large during Sandy that they tore through communities blocks from the ocean, where no one expected a deluge. Working from computer models of waves and tidal flow, the landscape design firm Scape proposed a necklace of submerged reefs and oyster beds to rim the island’s Atlantic coast-partially man-made, partially natural structures that will promote sedimentation and absorb a tremendous amount of wave energy. But not all of it. Scape’s plan makes a point of acknowledging the inescapable fact that water is coming: Part of the project even launches a new school curriculum to teach kids on the island how their fate is linked to the fate of the oceans. It also links people in the area to each other, with plans for the construction of several cultural and educational hubs along the shore. Neither project is under construction yet; the plan for lower Manhattan has received $335 million dollars in federal funding, and the Staten Island project has received $60 million. Both could get steered off course. Late-stage budget cuts could reduce the Lower East Side’s verdant berms to an ugly and imposing seawall, exactly the kind of project that Rebuild by Design was supposed to reject. But so far the plans have wide support from local and federal offices, and other cities around the world have taken notice. People are realizing that when the floods come or the heat wave settles, neighbors are the true first responders. Next up, we’ll be able to focus on an even more urgent problem: reducing our greenhouse gas emissions before there’s no way to adapt.Writing Assignment – Using Core Concepts 6-10 Submit: 1 essay outline and 1 argument essay Assignment summary: Create an outline and then write an argument essay based on the topic you chose in last week’s writing assignment. -Write at least five paragraphs, including an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. -Type your essay, double-spaced (preferably in a Word document). 2-3 pages -Use your own ideas and words in this project.

Chapter 8Female Delinquency Theories1Introduction to Female Delinquency The study of delinquency has traditionally focused on males. Male law violations exceed female violations. Patriarchy refers to a social, legal and political climate that values male dominance and hierarchy. Recent research suggests patriarchy has a significant independent effect on female crime rates. Females’ delinquency has frequently been studied by comparing them to males.2Growing Up Female Historically, females have been viewed as inferior to males. Has implications for gender roles Relational Aggression Refers to behaviors that focus on damage to relationships, or threats of damage to relationships The “female” form of aggression3The Development of Gender Roles (1 of 2) Gender roles refers to the socialization of sex-appropriate behavior based on gender stereotypes. Socialization begins at conception; the womb is an environment. Parents treat children differently based on the child’s sex. Socialization leads girls to identify with traditional female roles where nurturing and caring are reinforced.4The Development of Gender Roles (2 of 2) Socialization influences and shapes a person’s gender identify.5Gendered Pathways into Delinquency Significance between risk factors and protective factors that shape a youth’s involvement with delinquency. Women have had similar criminal careers as men but female offenders were disproportionately likely to have arrests for prostitution, theft, forgery, fraud and drug violations. Female offenders have significantly more extensive victimization histories.6Girls and Violence Female delinquency is increasing at a faster rate than male delinquency. Concerns exist about the increase of violent offenses committed by females. However, there is no looming national crisis of serious violence among adolescent girls.7Theories of Female Delinquency Females have traditionally been viewed as less delinquent than males. As more women have entered the field of criminology, more research on female delinquency has emerged.8Biological and Psychological Theories Under these perspectives female violators are uniquely different than males. Lombroso and Ferrero’s “Atavistic Girl” A throwback to a prior evolution of women Thomas’s “Unadjusted Girl” Males and females are biologically different Pollack’s “Deceitful Girl” Women are more deceitful than men9Lombroso and Ferrero Female criminals are seen as biologically distinct and inferior to non-criminal women. Women are naturally more child-like, less intelligent, lacking in passion, more maternal, and weak, characteristics that make them less inclined to commit crimes. Women’s criminality is a product of their biology, but this biology also keeps women from crime.10W.I. Thomas In The Unadjusted Girl, published in 1923 Thomas argued that males and females are biologically different. “Wish fulfillment” Four distinct categories of wishes: The desire for new experience. The desire for security. The desire for response. The desire for recognition.11Otto Pollak In 1950, The Criminality of Women, Pollak argued: Women are actually as criminal as men, but their criminality is hidden or “masked.” The physiological nature of women makes them more deceitful than men. Chivalry Hypothesis: The belief that lower rates of delinquency among females reflect men’s deference and protective attitude toward them whereby female offenses are generally overlooked or excused by males.12Recent Biological and Psychological Explanations (1 of 2) Recent biological and psychological approaches to female criminality argue that biological nature interacts with social forces to produce delinquency. John Cowie’s “Delinquency in Girls” Female delinquency is dominated by sexual misbehaviors. Evolutionary psychology argues that psychological differences have developed between the sexes.13Recent Biological and Psychological Explanations (2 of 2) Recent attempts to link biology and physiology have stressed hormonal difference between males and females. Neurosciences have produced compelling differences between the sexes. Simon Baron-Cohen Systematizing versus empathizing14Sociological Theories (1 of 5) Sociological theories of delinquency examine how social forces influence behavior. Sociological theories have traditionally examined male criminality. Durkheim was the first sociologists to observe gender differences in homicide Shaw and McKay did not examine female delinquency in their studies.15Sociological Theories (2 of 5) Merton did not address female criminality. Morris believes women have similar aspirations to men but are denied the same opportunities to achieve them. Agnew thinks females experience different types of strain and respond to strain differently than males.16Sociological Theories (3 of 5) Miller was generally unconcerned with female delinquency; he focused on the male, lower-class subculture. Cohen argued that delinquency is a male phenomenon; he recognized female delinquency primarily as sexual delinquency. Cloward and Ohlin focused on male delinquency.17Sociological Theories (4 of 5) Sutherland believed that girls encountered more anti-criminal patterns and are exposed to fewer criminal associations; girls who became delinquent have less parental supervision. Travis Hirschi excluded girls from his social control theory.18Sociological Theories (5 of 5) Michael Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi argued that delinquency occurs among youth who lack self-control for both boys and girls. Edwin Schur believed that labeling served as an informal social control over females and suggested that differential enforcement of status offending exists.19Power Control Theory John Hagan developed power control theory. Argues that girls engage in less delinquency because behavior is more closely monitored. Child supervision varies between patriarchal families and egalitarian families. Meda Chesney-Lind and Randall Shelden’s liberation hypothesis.20Marxist-Feminist Theories Combines the notions of patriarchal male dominance in the home and interpersonal relationships with male control of the means of production. Crimes are those actions that threaten the capitalist-patriarchal system.21James Messerschmidt’s Theory Women experience marginality doubly. Subordinate to both capitalists and men Three reasons women are less likely to commit serious crimes than men. Privatized resistance and accommodation.22Mapping Delinquency Theory: James Messerschmidt© Jones & Bartlett Learning.23Robert Regoli and John Hewitt’s Differential Oppression Theory (1 of 3) Adults oppress children as adults attempt to impose and maintain adult conceptions of social order. Girls in patriarchal societies are doubly oppressed: they are oppressed as children and as females. © Jones & Bartlett Learning.24Differential oppression theory contends that girls turn to prostitution because it helps establish a sense of power and autonomy. Does it? What are other reasons girls turn to prostitution? Is sex a form of social capital?© RapidEye/E+/Getty. Differential Oppression Theory (2 of 3)25Differential Oppression Theory (3 of 3) To counteract their oppression, girls use the following strategies: Passive Acceptance Illegitimate Coercive Power Manipulation of peers Retaliation26Mapping Delinquency Theory: Robert Regoli and John Hewitt © Jones & Bartlett Learning.27Juvenile Justice Policy Applications Meda Chesney-Lind argues that females are “invisible in terms of programming.” Most programs offered for girls are based on stereotypes of “girls’ issues,” such as teen pregnancy and sexual abuse, and focus on issues of girls in trouble rather than prevention. Traditional programs focus on intervention rather than prevention.28Programs Needed for Female Delinquency Include:Protecting females from physical and sexual violence. Reducing the risk of sexual diseases and pregnancy. Unemployment and job training. Safe housing, managing family problems and stress. Developing a sense of empowerment. Meda Chesney-Lind argues that programs need to separate at-risk girls from boys so girls’ needs will not be overshadowed by boys’ needs.29Conclusions Females have been relatively absent from criminology research until the twentieth century. Theories of female delinquency include: biological, psychological, sociological, Marxist-feminist, and differential oppression perspectives. Prevention programs tailored to females are needed.30image2.jpgimage3.jpgimage4.jpgimage5.jpgimage6.jpgimage1.jpg
