This week you are asked to read Chapters 2 in the Reichel book, as well as read the Kevin Bales article “Because she Looks Like a Child (in uploaded files) Because she Looks Like a Child” and review the United Nations, Drugs & Crime website https://www.unodc.org

Your initial post should address ALL the following points:
Post a summary of a current (within 2 weeks) newspaper or magazine article dealing with any topic that relates to the politics, social justice-related topics, police, judiciary, crime or corrections of the specific country you are studying over the course of this class. Be sure to provide the link to the online article. In addition to the summary, you should also comment on how you believe this article impacts international aspects of crime and/or criminal justice.

Now that you have read the weekly reading material, was there anything new that you learned? Did anything surprise you? Was there any part of the weekly material that you found ‘muddy’ or in need of clarification? Please explain. Please do not respond with a “no” or “nothing” – take the time to be thoughtful and respond to the question(s).
