Death and Dying and Deviance (11/16)
Death and Dying
Last class, I gave you an assignment to study what type of deaths must be investigated in the state of Virginia.
Pursuant to § 32.1-283 of the Code of Virginia, all of the following deaths are investigated by the OCME:
• any death from trauma, injury, violence, or poisoning attributable to accident, suicide or homicide;
• sudden deaths to persons in apparent good health or deaths unattended by a physician;
• deaths of persons in jail, prison, or another correctional institution, or in police custody (this includes deaths from legal intervention);
• deaths of patients/residents of state mental health or mental retardation facilities;
• the sudden death of any infant less than eighteen months of age whose death might be attributable to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; and
• any other suspicious, unusual, or unnatural death.
Considering the unusual circumstances of this town, I'd like you each to come up with one more type of death you believe should be added explicitly to this list.
Homework: Read Hidden Holocausts of the 20th Century. We'll be studying large-scale exterminations next week.
Sociology of Deviance
Welcome class. Our number have been reduced dramatically for this week, with Wednesday currently excused and Angelus evading the authorities, so I have modified the lesson.
Please follow me over to the A/V lab. I am going to give you each a website, and I will come around after you have had a chance to review it. I'd like you to share your thoughts as to whether the website is deviant, or not.
[Links are obviously NWS, but aren't anything crazy. You can tell what they are from the names and descriptions if you don't want to click.]
Bel - Vampires in Queer Porn With your project on pornography and interest in blood sports this seemed appropriate.
Logan - Liquidlatex.net Deviant Liquid Latex™ is a self-curing (drying) latex product that paints directly onto the skin or over clothing and dries in about 5-10 minutes to form custom wearable rubber clothing, costumes, masks and much more! Deviant Liquid Latex™ is literally "PAINT-ON CLOTHING"!
