2. Partial knowledge and provisional truth:
3. Deconstruction, difference, and possibility:
(2) Daly and Chesney-Lind considered five insights to be

1. Gender is not a natural fact but a complex social, historical,

from, biological sex differences and reproductive capacities.
2. Gender and gender relations order social life and social

3. Gender relations and constructs of masculinity and

dominance over women.
4. Systems of knowledge reflect men’s views of the natural

(3) Laub and Sampson identify five aspects to the process of
desistance during adulthood. Identify and briefly explain these

1. First, they argue that structural turning points—such as
marriage and employment—set the stage for change.
2. Second, consistent with their earlier theorizing, they contend
that these structural events create social bonds that increase the
informal controls over offenders.
3. Third, departing from a strict control theory, they observe

4. Fourth, this changed, prosocial lifestyle creates “desistance

5. Fifth and perhaps most important theoretically, Laub and
Sampson (2003) assert that the desistance process they describe
constrains, but does not fully determine, the choices offenders
make.
(4) Explain in full the concept of the “war on drugs.” Based
upon what you have learned, do you think it was successful?
Your answer must be at least 300 words in length.
(5) Based upon the various biosocial risk and protective factors
you have studied thus far, define "risk factor" and "protective
factor." Then identify and explain 3 risk factors and 3
protective factors. Your answer must be at least 300 words in
length.

Weekly Overview
During week 3 you are required to read Chapters 10 thru 12.
These chapters will give
you an overview on finding, analyzing and negotiating real

5. estate deals. Analyzing
commercial real estate deals includes site analysis and being
knowledgeable about submarkets.
Site analysis involves the compilation of all economic, social,
political, legal, and environmental
forces that influence the productivity of a given site, whether
improved or not, and with
consideration to current and/or alternative uses. If this sounds a
little like “highest and best use”
analysis to those of you familiar with appraisal terminology, it
is similar, except that site analysis
http://www.realtor.org/
http://www.car.org/

might be more focused. For example, site analysis might
determine the appropriateness or
feasibility of a specific location for the intended use of a
specific business. Site analysis might
involve a comparison of three or more sites for competitive
advantages for a specific
development concept or use. Site analysis might involve an
exploration of alternative uses for a

6. given site at the present time, or be based on likely trends in the
future, that is “a site looking for
a use.”
A submarket is an arbitrary grouping of either the demand side
of a market (buyers or
tenants) or the supply side of a market (the market within which
the subject parcel or property
competes). While it is not necessary to define submarkets in
purely geographical terms, and
certainly cyber-markets could be defined in submarket
groupings without regard to location,
geography tends to be a primary determinant of submarket
definitions for the real estate industry.
From the demand side, the submarket is the typical profile
attributes of the potential users of
space for a specific property use. For example, the profile of
potential users for an independent-
living, high-amenity, adult-only apartment complex could be
defined by age, wealth, income
sources, and geographic location from which such a market of
users could be drawn with some
degree of confidence. From the supply side, the submarket is
the based upon the attributes of
those properties that may compete with the proposed or current

7. use, including geography as one
of the important attributes. For example, a parcel with a
proposed upscale housing development
may compete with properties of a similar price range, similar in
size, similar in amenities, and
within a certain geographic area from which the dominant
source of potential buyers come.
Some submarkets may involve a relevant geographic range of
only a few miles in radius, such as
a convenience-oriented “strip” shopping center or single family
housing, while others such as
industrial parts distribution warehouses might involve a
submarket of 300 miles or more.

In addition to demand and supply factors, as well as the legal
constraints of
zoning or building codes, the suitability of a given site for the
proposed use is important, which
is where physical analysis comes into play.
Site size, shape, topography, soil type, geology, vegetation,
wildlife, surface and

8. subsurface water, utility access, access and traffic flows, noise,
air pollution, and climate all must
be considered in a systematic site analysis.
One of the important tools for combining physical analyses
with market analysis
is through the use of geographic information systems that
integrate several layers of information.
