1. List, if any, white collar crimes that are included in the Uniform Crime Report. If you find there are no white collar crimes in the Uniform Crime Report, state your reason why there isn’t and explain if the Index Crimes needs to include those crimes.
2. Do you agree with these statements? “White people can and do commit a great deal of minor and major crimes, the race as a whole is never tainted by those acts. But when blacks violate the law, all members of the race are considered suspect”? If you agree with this statement, does it also apply to white collar crime? Explain your reasoning.

Please write a 1 – 2 page paper double spaced on “How People Behave.” Please use your own words, because the school checks for plagiarism.

I. Explain why your question, “How People Behave,” is important to you as a member of society.

Option 1 – Feudalism Mini-historiography
In addition to Elizabeth Brown’s “Tyranny of a Construct” essay (which everyone will read), read the following excerpts from Susan Reynolds’ Fiefs and Vassals, and Thomas Bisson’s 1995 Medieval Academy of America presidential address (published in Speculum). Then construct a brief 4-5 page historiographic essay which outlines the major issues in the late 20th-century debate over the concept of “feudalism.” Standard formatting conventions apply, though you should footnote these sources following Chicago style rather than using parenthetical citation. NO DOUBLE SPACING BETWEEN FOOTNOTES. For an example of a historiographic essay, see this essay on the Fourth Crusade (my favorite crusade) and the description of a historiographic essay below. All three articles also contain historiographic components themselves. Don’t try to copy exactly the Fourth Crusade article, but see how it’s structured, what kinds of things it addresses, and how it approaches the topic of scholarly debate (you’ve already done something similar with primary sources in your analysis of the lives of Charlemagne and Alfred).

In this Discussion, you examine different types of statistics and statistical tests, when and why these particular tests would be selected for use, and, most importantly, what the results indicate

• A description of the statistical methods covered in the chapter, what they measure, and under what circumstances they are used. Identify examples of how the statistical methods have been used in research studies.

• An explanation of the key statistical tests and how they measure significance (if applicable).
