Please readthe text of the Sedition Act of 1918.
I
n your own words,
what kind of speech acts and actions did this law prohibit? (In the video on the right, you can hear a law professor talk about this act and its effects!)
Give an example of something (speech or action) that would get you in trouble under this law.Following that, please give an example of what kind of public discussion of foreign affairs would be allowedunder this act.
In the 1919 case Schenckv. United States, the Supreme Court reviewed the conviction of two Socialists who had distributed leaflets (“flyers”) calling on people to disobey the draft, and argued that conscription was a violation of the 13th Amendment’s prohibition of “involuntary service.” They called for non-violent action, only, but they were convicted for “conspiracy to violate the Espionage Act of 1917 by attempting to cause insubordination in the military and to obstruct recruitment.” The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under these grounds:
“Writing for a unanimous Court, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes concluded that courts owed greater deference to the government during wartime, even when constitutional rights were at stake. Articulating for the first time the “clear and present danger test,” Holmes concluded that the First Amendment does not protect speech that approaches creating a clear and present danger of a significant evil that Congress has power to prevent. Holmes reasoned that the widespread dissemination of the leaflets was sufficiently likely to disrupt the conscription process. Famously, he compared the leaflets to falsely shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theatre, which is not permitted under the First Amendment.” ( “Schenck v. United States.” Oyez, www.oyez.org/cases/1900-1940/249us47. Accessed 20 Feb. 2021. )
My question for you: What are your thoughts about this ruling and the reasoning of Justice Holmes? (Questions you might want to consider include, but are not limited to: How much free speech should be permissible in a national crisis or emergency such as war? What other crises might call for free speech restrictions? Is there a danger of this being taken too far? How much free speech do you think a society can handle? If we all call “fire” in a fragile democracy, can democracy survive? Etc. etc. etc) Please speak your mind freely. If you want to add a further-thoughts question to my list, go for it!

A little background: One of the most important aspects of finding out more about crime and “why people do what they do” is to understand what Criminologists have already determined. Research raises our awareness of the things that we should pay close attention to. It creates a photo of what has happened, what may happen and what we can do to prevent things from happening (from a policy perspective).
Criminologists, and other scholars, tell us these things by publishing their research findings in academic peer reviewed journals. The idea is to know what research exists and to find gaps in the content areas that are in need of further research in an effort to conduct research to help create yet an even more comprehensive picture of a crime, criminal behavior, policy, and to suggest a policy!
For this assignment, you will start the process of research and identifying a gap in the literature (i.e. an area in need of further research)! Your goal is to synthesize information that exists about a topic and then identify a research question that would help a Criminologist to explore the topic further. You will carry this topic throughout this course- so be sure to pick a topic that interests you!
You are to do the following for this assignment:
Pick a broad topic area about crime that interests you (for example, homicide)
Pick a demographic variable that you think may affect that topic (for example, where one lives)
Identify 2 variables (one independent (IV) and one dependent variable (DV)). One of the variables will be the demographic variable that you chose in the question above. For example, in the example above, Homicide would be my dependent variable and where one lives would be my independent variable. You can think of a “cause and effect” relationship to determine which is your independent and which is your dependent variable.
Now create a research question. Research questions are frequently used in Criminology. This is because we often cannot “prove” anything, but we can suggest relationships. Research questions assess the possible relationship between variables. They are often in the format of: “To what extent, if any, is X related to Y.” Of course, the wording may be a little different, but hopefully you get the idea!
Log into the UMGC library and pick a data base (such as Sage) to start researching what research exists about your topic and the other variable you have chosen. You are to use academic peer reviewed articles only.
Choose 3 peer reviewed academic articles for each of each variables (you will have six articles total- 3 for your IV and 3 for your DV). Write an annotated bibliography for each of your articles. Pay special attention to the similarities and differences in regards to what they are saying about your topic. Provide a brief summary of the article, and spend at least a paragraph discussing the similarities and differences between the topical articles.
Format Requirements

A Chief of Police has started a task force to identify the location of the highest crime areas. Based on the 4 purposes of research, determine the best research purpose for this project. Explain your reasoning.

Research methodology was one of my favorite subject at my master’s level.I have also done my research in 2021,and passed my research subjects with A grade

Whose interests does it serve to represent feminism in false, reductive, and dismissive forms, so that many women (as well as men) distance themselves from it?”. Using this question, consider the negative impression of feminism compared to bell hooks’ practice of feminism. Why do you think feminism is regarded with such suspicion and hate when its purpose is to help both men and women?
