The following studies should be completed by Friday 1st Feb:

1. Durkheim

I would also like you to consider ways in which we could use a link with a school in San Diego, California. They are going to be looking at some aspects of Crime and Law. What do you want to know about the US system? How can we work together? Post any ideas here!

Have a good weekend.
