As with all Discussion Forums, there are two parts: a 1000-1250 word posting (short research paper) and a response reviewing and commenting on one other participant’s posting. While I do allow you to slightly exceed the maximum word count on any given assignment, please be aware that this overage may NOT exceed 250 words. For this Discussion Forum, you will need to research and write a posting briefly summarizing the old involuntary administrative segregation arrangements and why so controversial, and discussing the new Structured Intervention Units (SIUs) and whether the SIUs are likely to meaningfully address earlier concerns associated with involuntary administrative segregation. For CRIM 311, this forum relates to intersecting forms of discrimination focusing on mental health disabilities but extending to race/ethnicity and gender, among other identity attributes. The forum is about rights to equality and non-discrimination and to be free from torture/ill-treatment, including potential contraventions of the Charter along with various federal and provincial/territorial human rights laws and international human rights standards. This is an applied critical thinking exercise where you will also need to integrate relevant course materials from the text and the lectures. Please use scholarly and grey literature sources when you do secondary research for this course. Wikipedia and generic encyclopedias may NOT be used.
Your posting must include some title information (minimally your full name, the title of the exercise, the course, the date of submission) and use headings demarcating the various conceptual elements. The posting should include an introduction, a developmental section, and a conclusion where you make recommendations for social change/social justice. For marking purposes, please attach a Word or RTF file copy of your submission that is labeled with your name and that includes proper title information.
For both the posting and response, supply proper APA 7th edition in-text citations and a References Cited list. You cannot use more than one direct quote and any direct quote must be properly cited; it must have a page number or another physical locator if there is no page number.
