List 2: Top Three Academic Interests

1: Restorative justice within prison systems

2: The effects of Deviance within a society '''[Jane here. This article has a notice on it identifying it needs work. This could be the article you use for your Activist Article or at least our early editing work.]'''

3: Looking at criminal networks and how they work [Interesting there is no page on criminal networks as such - could be your Activist Article!]

Minor Edit:

This is what I changed the original information to:

Social norms differ throughout society and between cultures. A certain act or behaviour may be viewed as deviant and receive sanctions or punishments within one society and be seen as a normal behaviour in another society. Additionally, as a societies understanding of social norms changes over time, so to does the collective perception of deviance.

Activism Action Plan

1. This article will have some information about what a criminal network is, how they can be mapped, an example of a program that is capable of doing this and the positives and negatives of mapping criminal networks. I would also want to include some information about social network analysis as this has a direct link to understanding and mapping networks. '''remember you don't have to put everything there could be into a page, you can give it a good start. Re social network analysis - if there is a page on this already or a stub you can put a link in your article to it, or create the stub because there should be one! and put the link to the stub in the article'''

2. I believe that it is important to have some information about this topic because there is currently nothing on Wikipedia in a criminal network sense. [AGREED] There is some information about social network analysis however it is quite limited and does not address the criminal network aspect. This topic is quite interesting and provides information on the ways that criminal networks can be mapped and the ways they can be used to crumble criminal groups. This complies with the Wikipedia notability requirements for new inclusions as it does have significant coverage within research articles, the information and sources that are available on this topic are also reliable, many academic papers discuss the use of criminal network mapping. Further, much of the information is independent of the subject, considering this information, it is presumed that this topic merits its own article. '''STRONG RATIONALE. I AGREE!'''

3. A check list on the requirements for getting an article published in Wikipedia


 * Neutral point of view in my writing
 * Reliable sources
 * Acknowledging any sources I use, and using appropriate referencing techniques
 * No persuasive writing
 * Good lead section
 * Short title

4. Some of the research tasks that I will need to undertake include;


 * What a criminal network is, what they look like
 * Importance of understanding criminal networks
 * What Social Network Analysis is
 * programs (UCINET) that can be used to map a criminal network
 * The different ways networks can be mapped
 * The potential upsides and downsides to mapping a criminal network [ALL SOUNDS LOGICAL WAY TO APPROACH THE SUBJECT AND TASK]
