【正文】 s 。ve got more friends here.W: What39。s Sarah with Lhim。ll need to get some particulars first. Err, Sarah, what39。ve been staying with my aunt and now my cousin is arriving from Singapore and my aunt need serve room for him. W: Oh, that39。ve heard that you want to move into a homestay family, is that correct?S: Yes, that39。re very often panies, because they say they didn39。t make the results any less tragic. And this leads to my second point. That corporate crime can have very severe consequences. It39。s actually been on the tanker at the time but on the owners of the tanker. They had deliberately decided not to carry out necessary repair work on the tanker as it was due to be sold. And it was this lack of repair work which was directly responsible for the explosion.Now this illustrates two points to do with corporate crime. First of all, that it39。re two more points to do with corporate crime. Then I39。re important because they can undermine the faith of the public in the business world. And also, more importantly, because the main group of people they39。re by conventional crime like robbery and theft.In addition to this we have to consider the social costs of corporate crime. And these are again very difficult to assess but they39。s look at the economic costs first. For example, if a pany is producing fruit juice, and it dilutes its product, so that39。ve been victims of a crime.So when we look at the effects of corporate crime, we may find it39。s going on without specialist knowledge. As well as this, whereas conventional crime has a lot of human interest, corporate crime often has much less. The third reason, and possibly the most significant one, is that very often that victims are unaware. They think their misfortune is an accident, or that is the fault of no one in particular. They39。s often very plex, whereas conventional crime, it39。s been relatively ignored by the mass media. For example, it tends to be underreported in parison with conventional crime in news broadcasts and in crime series of films and so on. They very rarely deal with corporate crime. And it also tends to be ignored in academic circles, as being far more research on conventional crime and far more data is available.There39。s policy, or because otherwise they may lose their jobs. So here we39。re acting in the first place for the pany. They may not even realize that they mit a crime, or they may realize but they feel it39。s been defined as, quote, crime which is mitted for the corporate organization, the pany, not against it, unquote. So crimes like theft by employees, things like... err... embezzlement or fraud against one39。s known as corporate crime. Corporate crime is crime which as the name suggests, is connected with panies, with business organizations. It includes illegal acts leader, individuals or a group within a pany. But what is important is that these actors normally in accordance with the goals of the pany. They39。ve seen the preoccupation of western societies with crime and with lawlessness is a pile of long and continuous tradition rather than something which is null and unique to modern society.But over the past 70 years or so, there39。clock?W: Fine.M: Before Friday, I think we should all look though the reading list. test2_section4So far, in these lectures, we39。ll be back through the article again. Just to be sure. Can you remember what was called?M: Sample surveys and social science research, I think, by Mehta.W: MEHTA?M: Yep. And he also remended a more reasonable called Survey research by Belle, I think. It39。t it, something about the response rate and the problems you get if it is too low.M1: Yes, but we only need data from 5 subjects, anyway.W: Oh, I suppose so. Another drawback I remember it mentions was that questionnaire data tends not to reveal anything unexpected because it is limited to the questions fixed in advance by the researcher.M1: Come on, Rose. This is only a practice. It seems not a real research, is it? W: Well, I39。m pretty sure remended questionnaires are source of highly reliable data as long as you design the questionnaire properly in the first place the data will be fine.W: No. I39。t it?M1: Yes, I think we should do a questionnaire. That would be so much less time consuming than organizing interviews, I remend. Once we39。s right. It39。ve got a here. Assess the two main methods of collecting data in social science research.W: And how much do we need to write?M1: 1500 words. That39。re two, err, no, three parts to it. The first we have got to write an essay about ways of collecting data, then...W: What39。m a bit late. There was a long queue. So have you work out how to do with the assignment then? M1:Not yet. We39。t you think? That39。t stop there. When you move into a flat, startingup expenses including furniture afford can be covered by a loan through the welfare service. See Jill Freeman for details.Can we help you? Well last academic year in spite of staff cuts, we counselled 240 international students for a total of 2600 hours39。s right. And you can get a double that amount if you can39。t pass an exam. I had a reset first year anthropology so I can certainly offer you a sympathetic hear. Anyway, exam failure can lead varying changes in the way you normally behave. You may also be off your food or you may have dietary problems because the local food is not to your liking and upset you and this can affect your health and studies. Glenda Roberts is our dietician in the health service and we can put you onto her.And we all have money problems, don39。s too difficult, then your selfesteem can suffer, but it39。ll have to start adjusting to teaching and learning methods that may be unfamiliar to you as well as the mounting pressures the deadline for that first assignment creates upon you.And of course you39。re not getting proper feedback on how you will be getting on your subjects.Besides help with academic problems, you may also need persona
