DISCUSSION POST – WK 10

Class please watch this documentary and discuss how it relates to the information we have renewed so far. Why is it important that the community was never made aware of the crimes? What is the significance of the amount of time that these crimes went unnoticed?  Please discuss the role of police and community in this case. (Please also discuss anything else that comes to mind).
