TEACHSOC: Re: Out-of-class reading assignments and field trips

[Sarah Murray]

Can anyone suggest a field trip for my course  "Violence in the Community"?  I am having 2 panels of speakers during the semester: law enforcement professionals talking on terrorism, gangs and domestic violence; member of the press; crime victim, psychotherapist; and advocate for mentally impaired offenders.
