    Another way of understanding and explain marijuana use within skateboarding culture, would be through the routine activity theory that Johns used in her dissertation. Despite her not finding a higher amount of substance use among skateboarders than other subcultures, she did find an increased amount of substance use among the older informants in the 12th grade. As mentioned in earlier, this would match the findings of Demant & Järvinen, and the routine activity theory may therefore be able to find an explanation of why older adolescents are likely to engage in substance use more generally. This may be because older adolescents are more likely to be without parental supervision, or spend more of their time in an unstructured manner since they…

    In my studies, reading over the presented materials I believe that there was a vast and ample amount of material that clearly illustrated issues as to how police officers approached the concept of lethal force and how to best apply them. Robin, who’s studies on lethal force forced the public to take conscious and helped it obtain national attention, conducted a study of 32 cases of justifiable homicide, and concluded that 88% of the victims of police shootings in Philadelphia were black, representing 22% of the population. Furthermore, there was an 8.8 to 1 ratio of black to white victims in seven other cities. (Binder and Fridell Pg, 250) Consequently, this study was only expanded by other researchers who included all deaths and wounding in analysis.…
