Summarize the post .
For each discussion activity, you are responsible for posting a reply to at least to one postings made by your classmates.
After you have made your original post, read some of the posts from your classmates and construct one reply post of 100-150 words that responds to one of your group-mate’s original posts. Your reply post should be written such that it does one or more of: identifies something that you find especially interesting or insightful about your classmate’s original post; poses an engaging and relevant question and/or builds on the ideas from your classmate’s original post; raises a real-life experience or observation that you feel would be relevant to illustrate or help further develop an idea or point in your classmate’s original post.
Please note that you will need to make an original post before you can read and respond to your peers’ posts.
Some points to keep in mind:
Be clear and to the point in your postings.
Edit your work. Your posts should be coherent and use proper grammar and spelling.
Keep postings to 100-150 words. Quality is better than quantity.
Contribute your own thoughts about the material you have read.
Support your thoughts by referencing the readings used, and references used in post below or other outside literature.
Raise additional questions or points of discussion to stimulate further discussion.
If you have questions, show that you have already tried to find a solution.
Respect the viewpoints of your peers. Ask for clarification if you don’t understand a point. Assume good intentions.
Use the proper terminology introduced in the course readings.
When using literature in your postings, make sure to provide references in proper APA 7 Style.
Show respect and sensitivity to peers’ gender, cultural and linguistic background, political, and religious beliefs.
You are strongly encouraged to take the time to review the following documents on writing quality discussion posting and on taking roles in discussions.
Taking a role in online discussion.
Taking a Role in Online Discussions Below are some roles that anyone in an online discussion can fulfill in order to help move an online discussion forward in productive ways. See if you can determine what role is required in your online discussion and then write a message that takes on that role. Devil’s Advocate • Takes opposing points of view to those currently under discussion Pollinator • Travels to other groups, reads their postings and summarizes points made in other groups not made in home group. Facilitator • Comments on the groups process (e.g. “Perhaps we should all remember to put a subject line in our messages.”) • Encourages others to participate, • Starts a thread or an idea on the topic, if the discussion lags. Summarizer / Discussion Weaver • Summarizes the discussion for the group at specific intervals in 1 or 2 short paragraphs. Usually summarizes twice per week or if the discussion lags • Reminds others about what has already been discussed. • Asks the group what issues have been concluded and what ones are still to be discussed. • Relates ideas in posted messages to one another. Researcher • Assumes responsibility for looking at what is available on the net, journals etc. and brings ideas back to the group. Responder • Replies to others and builds on the ideas of others. This is a role that everyone in the group must perform for every discussion.

Homicide is widely perceived as a crime and criminal justice issue as outlined in Unit 01 of the course. Society often focuses on the individual punishment and legal process of these crimes, and not always the broader health implications of homicides. I find that media and pop culture plays a role in glorifying the criminal details of homicides only, which impacts society’s view on this type of violence.
Emphasizing a sociological understanding of homicide has many benefits (Barkan, 2015). Analyzing the social background, behaviours, influences and attitudes of murderers can aid in determining the structural roots of crime (Barkan, 2015). The inequality, poverty,gender and community concepts of homicide are also understood through the sociological view (Barkan, 2015).
Prevention is another benefit of the Public Health approach (Pridemore, 2003). By following the 4 stages of the public health approach (1. Define and monitor the problem, 2. Identify risk and protective factors, 3. Develop and test prevention strategies & 4. Ensure widespread adoption of effective approaches) the rates of homicide can be decreased (Association, 1999).
Overall, with the knowledge of the negative health and wellbeing effects of homicide, society’s outlook of the issue could be improved (Pridemore, 2003).

Homicide is traditionally viewed as a crime, with societal norms and media portrayals reinforcing this narrow perspective. The criminal justice system, focused on police, courts, and corrections dominates the public’s understanding of how to handle homicide, primarily through punishment and deterrence. This focus is deeply rooted in the way society perceives moral and legal wrongs, where offenders are held accountable for their actions, often to the exclusion of other considerations such as the well-being of victims and their families. The media plays a significant role in shaping these perceptions. By dramatising violent crimes, especially in news reports, TV shows, and documentaries, the media tends to frame homicide as a criminal justice issue, centering the narrative on the criminal act itself and the process of capturing and punishing the perpetrator. This reinforces the public belief that legal mechanisms are the primary and most effective response to homicide (Barkan, 2015). Additionally, the criminal justice approach often frames homicide as an isolated incident, focusing on the morality of the act and the potential danger the perpetrator poses to society. The broader impacts such as the trauma inflicted on the families of victims and the effects on community health, are frequently overlooked. This limited view fails to address the social and environmental conditions that contribute to homicide, such as poverty, systemic inequality, and lack of access to resources like education and healthcare. Historically, homicide and other forms of violence have been managed primarily through legal frameworks, with punishment seen as the ultimate form of justice. Over time, this punitive approach has become entrenched, and the concept of rehabilitation or prevention has taken a back seat. The idea of addressing the root causes of violence is often seen as secondary to the immediate goal of deterrence and retribution (OPHA, 1999).
As aforementioned, this focus on punishment aligns with a cultural emphasis on individual accountability, where the crime is seen as a personal moral failure rather than a symptom of broader societal issues. As a result, the system overlooks how factors like socioeconomic status, mental health, and community infrastructure contribute to violent behaviour. The criminal justice system, in its traditional form, is reactive, addressing crime after it happens, rather than proactive in preventing it. This limitation is part of why society continues to see homicide primarily through the lens of crime and punishment, rather than as an issue intertwined with public health (Pridemore, 2003). A public health perspective that focuses on improving the well-being of communities affected by homicide, offering psychological support to victims’ families and helping to restore a sense of safety and cohesion in neighbourhoods would be extremely beneficial (Barkan, 2015). This holistic approach would combine criminal justice measures with public health strategies, creating a more comprehensive solution to homicide. It not only addresses the immediate crime but also works to mitigate the long-term societal factors that contribute to violence. In this way, broadening our view of homicide allows for more effective prevention strategies and improved overall societal well-being.
