Who Loves Being Bad?
I suggest a field trip to a prison to see who loves to be bad and the consequences that are involved.


In response to Laura's suggestion asto what the class could do in week 12, I think it is a great idea! Of course not all criminals are incarcerated simply for 'being bad', such as murderers and rapists (this is far past the realms of being bad). However, there are those that are classed as petty crimes such as, shoplifting, burglary, assult, even tax evasion. Why do some people continue to commit crimes after spending time in prison? Is it that the punishment is not punishment enough, that it does nothing to discourage an individual? What makes a person commit a crime in the first place?

Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to hear the diversity of answers to these questions.
