A. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations (not part of the required Discussion Board assignment)
These questions can serve as the starting point for your discussions during the week. They are “thought starters,” so that you can explore some ideas associated with the discussion board and unit topics. Answers are not required, and should not be submitted with your required assignment. Answers are not graded.
1. Why would researchers want to study violence against women? What would researchers hope to learn from this type of study?
2. How can our society benefit from a study such as this that examines violence against women? How can the results of this type of study benefit our culture on a large scale?
B. Required Discussion Board assignment.
For this assignment, you will make a 2–3-paragraph posting to the Discussion Board in which you must answer the following questions:
• What are some potential methods of researching violence against women?
• Specifically, what are ways in which violence against women could be studied using interpretative and critical frameworks?
• What would you change and why?
• What different types of information would you likely obtain using this research process?

• In your answer, be sure to share with your peers how you would present your research statement, and provide a rationale for choosing that method.
B
• Does the method of presentation make sense for the stakeholders that are involved with the student’s issue?

JEFFREY DAHMER/ANDREA YATES

Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was thought to suffer from paranoid schizophrenia but his bid for a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict failed. Essentially, the jury accepted that he was schizophrenic but that he was still culpable for his behavior.

Similarly, Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in the bathtub, was purported to be schizophrenic by one of the court’s examining psychiatrists. She, too, was held accountable for her actions, failing an NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity) bid.

Please answer the following questions.

1. How can someone be schizophrenic AND in sufficient command of their mental capacities to be culpable for their actions?

2. Should anyone who is schizophrenic have an automatic pass to NGRI out of criminal offenses?

3. Discuss your opinion regarding the case of either Jeffrey Dahmer or Andrea Yates.
