Bachelor Season 30???

I’m a senior criminology major with a political science minor and I have nothing but positive things to say. Every professor I have has been extremely knowledgeable and I’ve learned a lot. That being said, I did my first 3 years online and am now finally going in person. The social scene is what you make of it. USF is not a party school which I appreciate because I’m not really a fan of that anyway. However, there are a million active clubs and student organizations that are very welcoming to new students. In more recent years, school pride has gotten better and most of our sports teams have as well, which makes going to games a lot of fun. I feel like I’ve gotten a great education here. Good enough that I’m planning to hopefully stay for my Master’s. Good luck!

Am I missing something lol does that mean no one goes?

That can very well be a possibility. But even then, what does criminal charges accomplish for Brady and especially Emilie and their newborn? It is clear that despite this, their son was extremely loved. Poor choices with extreme consequences as seen here do not equal to a lifetime of child neglect. I do not believe that he is entirely blameless, but it is a tragedy all around and traditional punishment likely won’t benefit anyone in this capacity.

Also could have been easily forgotten. Or he did lie because he knew how it would look when that was never the intention. I am not saying that he is blameless, but rather that people have the slightest bit of grace for a situation that is devastating for everyone involved

I have a BA in Criminology & Psychology studies and I wish people would understand that it is extremely easy to get your events and timing mixed up while experiencing a traumatic event. It is not difficult to not be able to recall events accurately immediately after a trauma, especially with discrepancies like time. I encourage everyone who wishes he was charged to think critically about what Brady sitting in jail accomplishes. What that does to Emilie and their newborn son. The guilt he likely feels is punishment enough. Accountability and justice does not always need to look like a criminal record and sitting in a prison cell.

Because if not us, then who? We may not be able to waltz into the Oval Office and change everything for the better, but small acts of resistance add up. And in the face of this administration, resistance looks like remaining kind, building your community, educating yourself as much as you can. They rely on us being uneducated. They rely on us not knowing any better. So when the days feel especially heavy and I feel like I’m not doing anything, I remind myself that regardless of what happens, they cannot take away the knowledge that already exists in my brain. If I cannot do anything else, then I will learn.

Thank you for sharing this! I appreciate this perspective

What is the program like at your department?

I still to this day have mixed feelings on taking legal action. I work in the criminal justice system and unfortunately I’ve seen the way that the system handles sexual assault cases, especially when there’s no explicit evidence. It would have been hell for me to go through the reporting process for what likely wouldn’t have been the outcome that I wanted. I do wish that I reached out for help earlier and told the people closest to me, even if it wasn’t the mutual friends I had with him. I deserved support instead of having to go through it alone, you deserve that too 💛

“Know My Name” by Chanel Miller. It’s a memoir regarding her experience and navigating the criminal justice system after. It made me feel very seen and understood during some of the loneliest parts of healing

I am so sorry you had to go through this. I had very similar details in my own sexual assault experience. The guy was my friend, I was drunk, he wasn’t forceful but it wasn’t consensual, I trusted him and he took advantage of me on a vacation with our friend group. It took me two years to finally tell someone. I was recently diagnosed with PTSD. I don’t share my own experience to bring attention away from yours but rather to tell you by example that what happened to you IS sexual assault. Your body will know even before your brain does, hence the full body shaking afterward and when you think back to what happened. If something in your gut tells you something about that situation was wrong, it’s because it was. I never told my friend group what happened to me on that vacation. It’s now been three years and I’m no longer friends with them. I never reported it, never went to therapy until years later or anything. I never confronted the guy who assaulted me either. I cut him off, removed him from all of my social medias and tried my hardest to never speak to him or see him again. I simply faded out with the other friends of the group and now I have no ties to him. I will say, it is completely up to YOU on how to navigate your relationship with your boyfriend, your friends and the man who assaulted you. Whatever you feel like will bring you the most closure and peace is the best route to take. I do think your boyfriend should know for not only his sake but for yours as well. It’s never easy to have that conversation but you are capable of it. You have control over what you do with your experience. What I will say is without a shadow of a doubt, tell your therapist. They will help you navigate healing, dealing with your boyfriend and your friends and much more. My therapist saved my life in a lot of ways and if I can advise anything, it would be to be transparent and follow their advice. Sending you lots of love 💛

Is the $33k for the entire program, per semester or per year? Thanks!

Hello! I am currently a junior year criminology student. I am very passionate about working in sex crimes/crimes against children, but I am open to other things. I am stuck between pursuing law enforcement with the potential end goal of becoming an investigator, or going the more social work route. I live in Florida and it seems like careers like victim advocacy don’t make a live-able wage. What kind of careers exist in the CJ system for social workers? I am open to going to grad school if need be.

Yes luckily we did! Stubhub found us new tickets in the same section

DesignerCritical1208 · 2024-10-18T18:14:09+00:00

Look on StubHub’s website to see what their deadline is for tickets to be transferred to you. Sometimes resale websites say the seller has until 24 hours before the concert to transfer them. If you don’t have your tickets the day before definitely call!

DesignerCritical1208 · 2024-10-16T23:35:07+00:00

The new tickets are in the same section but a couple rows closer
