What is Governing through Violence?
What is Governing through Violence?
Jonathan Simon will be visiting our class on Wednesday, February 23rd. By now you should have a sense of what he means when he says we are being “governed through violent crime.” In short, it’s that over the past half century or so, we have built a new social order and approach to government that revolves around the issue of violent crime, usually conceived of as an individual act committed mostly by members of marginalized groups against each other and against members of more privileged groups.
For your writing assignment this week:
Find something in the 24 minute video Violence: Mass Incarceration, the ’60s, and the Racialization of Violent Crime ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk7-4zAHPKs&t=137s) that you believe helps explain this concept.
In at least 3-5 sentences, describe how it explains or illustrates the idea of “governing through violent crime.”
Include at least one direct quote or reference to a specific part of the video.
Use ASA formatting for in-text citations, inserting timestamps in place of page numbers so we can find the part of the vide you are referencing.
E.g., Simon (2016) says that there are “features” of homicide that are socially constructed, but that it’s not a socially constructed problem, and you can’t call it a “moral panic” because when people are upset about homicide, “they have a reason to be upset” (8:20)

PICOT Question Heart Failure Patients PICOT Question
PICOT: In patients with heart failure, is there evidence that suggests educating the patients before discharge, compared to not educating, will improve 30 day hospital readmission.
Instructions:
This assignment will require you to take the PICO, 5 research articles and place them in a table for analysis. You will critique each article and identify the most important parts of the research, analysis, and findings.
Then you will summarize the articles by grading the research, and identifying gaps in the literature as well as possible interventions
Identify your PICOT or research question of interest
Gather 5 research articles on your topic: be sure to save them and submit them along with the matrix; please make sure they are PDF documents.
Do not use clinical guidelines or Cochran Reviews, abstracts, or poster presentations. You can search for research only by indicating “research” when you do an advanced search. If you can’t answer a lot of the questions, it is probably not a research article.
We do not recommend that you use more than one systematic review or meta analysis. These are harder to evaluate because they have so much more information in them. Remember it is not individuals in these studies- it is there articles. Use the articles to find individual studies that may be easier to understand and use.
Review sample matrices and summaries
Use matrix table- one for each article and critique the parts of the article using the rubric
Be sure to identify the evaluation tool used to grade the evidence such as (See below for grading the evidence tools)
Identify where there are issues with the articles and what gaps were not addressed with the research; be prepared this may change the way you look at your topic or may result in a slightly different direction for your area of interest. This is ok- that is what you want to accomplish with this assignment. It will really assist you as you move forward with your project.
For this assignment you will turn in the matrix tables, summary, references and pdf copies of your 5 articles.
Key definitions:
Level of evidence: the process used to evaluate the level of evidence of your articles- such as Jones Hopkins, Cincinnati Children’s evaluation etc,
Evaluation tool: use the method and describe how you arrived at the scoring or knowing that the article included all content it needed to- such as CASP;
Instrument: What type of instrument or tool was used in the article? This could be a depression screening tool, Nurse satisfaction tool etc. Describe the
instrument- how many questions, reliability- consistency with test-retest, Cronbach Alpha, inter-rater reliablity; validity with content validity, face validity.
