Book: C.J Pascoe Dude, You’re a Fag, Masculinity and Sexuality in High School 

3 Pages, double-spaced. No quotes. Just answer the questions below. 

1. Explain hegemonic masculinity and its connection to the fag discourse.

2. How was hegemonic masculinity and the fag discourse made manifest in your high school? Were you subject to it either directly (by being expected to enact it) or indirectly (by being the target of it)? You will be analyzing your own experiences in light of course material. An analysis requires an application of the course material that leads to insights about your real life experiences. An insight should be a conclusion or realization that is illuminated through the application of concepts or theories. In other words, you are using sociological concepts to make sense of your life.

3. How was the school as an institution implicated in either reproducing or challenging the fag discourse? How so?

Please read “How to Prevent Prisoner Reentry Programs From Failing” by Listwan et al. beginning on page 303 of your Latessa/Holsinger text. Answer the following questions accordingly. Your responses should be based in what you have read. Please include citations throughout, as well as references in APA format. Your response is worth 20 points and should be thorough. Your response is due by 11:59pm on Day 7. Please upload your response in a WORD document. 

1) Explain the principles of effective classification (intervention). 

2) The article provides a detailed description as to what works effectively with the offender population. If we know what works, why is our recidivism rate so high? 

3) The article suggests significant findings that cognitive behavioral treatment works well with the offender population. Given what you know about T4C, a cognitive behavioral treatment program, make an argument that the criminal justice system should use T4C with all offenders? How would this look? Would it work to curb recidivism? Why or why not?
