I found it strange that the streets were fairly empty. It was around 12pm and not too hot, but as I continued walking I noticed two police officers surveilling the area. As I kept walking to different blocks I noticed the same two police officers just driving slowly. The first officer was driving an SUV cop car and the second officer was driving a Ford Crown Victoria cop car. To me this did not seem as something important at first because it was my first time ever at this site, but as I…

aboriginal people, specifically children, do not grow up in an environment where they are expected to answer when spoken to, and they feel ill at ease when questioned. This can therefore put aboriginal people at a disadvantage when being questioned by police officers. In both remote and urban areas, it is considered intrusive to ask personal questions and is often seen as discourteous (Maybin and Mercer, 1996, p.28). Some aboriginal people at times will go at great lengths to avoid direct verbal…

Media portrayal and over-policing The over-policing of IY remains a matter of dispute for their over-representation in the YJS. This report argues that the media portrayal of IY has led to the implicit bias held by the police enforcers against them. Past research on the portrayal of IY in the media have led to the findings that their identifications are often associated with images of crime and disorder (Mickler & McHoul 1998, pp124-125; Plater 1993, p204; Sercombe 1995, p78). This moral panic…

Supernatural themes within Gothic texts are designed to push against the common way within society in order to be relevant and convey a message. Throughout history, the human race has taken many different paths and embraced many different beliefs. Three of these beliefs that have been incredibly influential in the past three centuries are: neoclassicism, romanticism and Victorianism. In each of these historical periods, gothic literature and by extension the supernatural, acted as a rejection of…

Victorian Satire in Oscar Wilde’s ”The Importance of Being Earnest.” Victorian era ideals are littered throughout Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Whether it be the act of bunburying, the prominence behind one’s name, or the suitability of someone in another’s hand in marriage, all are visited in this play in some form or another. Points of importance to Victorian culture are found quite trivial within the lines of this work published near the end of the same era, especially…

Victorian literature was composed from roughly 1830-1900 under the reign of Queen Victoria of England. It is most often characterized by the hypocrisy of the social stratosphere and the precedence of good over evil. Victorian author Oscar Wilde, however, challenged the bounds of typical Victorian literature and ultimately “opened the door for the development of modernism” (Gutierrez-Folch). Two of his works, The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband, portray Wilde’s ideas and…
