Tuscan Dreams
Part 4
That's Amore
"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore," Doug Sang into Pacey's
ear off-key as he packed his belongings."Oh god," he groaned."When the world seems to shine
like you've had too much wine that's amore," He continued to sing along with the stereo"Are you
trying to make me kill you?""Nope,"
Doug said quickly leaning on the back of the couch. "Bells'll ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling and you'll
sing Vita bella, hearts'll play tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-"Will you shut up!" Pacey asked him cutting
off his off-key singing "Because if you don't I may just have to kill you,""I'm just
trying to get you in the mood,""Well dean martin isn't going to work… I'm not gay,""Was
that an insinuation that I am?""No," Pacey said sarcastically "Just that you like a rather
meaty sausage," "Y'know when this trip is over with you are going to see me in such a different
light," Doug told him walking over to the stereo and switching it of."I highly doubt that Douggie,"
Pacey chuckled, walking over to him and picking up his brothers CD selection. "West side story soundtrack, Carousel
soundtrack..." he mused as he went through his collection. "And what's this; the diva collection?""I
have good taste in music,""No you have
female taste in music,""I'm sensitive!"
Doug argued, taking back his collection and putting them back on the shelf neatly. "You should really look into it,""I
can be sensitive if I want to… in fact I like to think that I'm very hetro-retro sensitive… you know? Old
school sensitive…""Oh yeah, really?" Doug scoffed. "I think that your girlfriend might
disagree with that statement,""Is this about Poland again?""Yes it's about Poland
again. I saw her across the street the other day and she looked really down,""She stopped calling me!""Two
wrongs don't make a right," "A but two Judy garland albums do make you gay," he chuckled, sighing at the look his brother gave him. "I called her," he admitted."And?""I
left a message on her machine… and she didn't call me back,""That's because you've
been acting like a complete asshole; in fact I'm glad you're not coming on this trip with me,""Why's
that?""Because now I can get all those beautiful Italian ladies with my old-fashioned charm all by myself
without the annoyance of you there to criticize me,""Fine!" Pacey said sternly. "Just because of that statement I'm going,""What?""I'm
coming to Italy and there ain't a thing you can do to stop me," he told him. "In fact I'm going to
pack right now,""Worked like a charm," Doug sang to himself as Pacey exited the room.
"How could he do this to me!" Joey asked Bessie as she stared at the letter in front of her. "How
could he do it Bess?""He's a man; men do this kind of thing all the time honey," her sister
said, moving beside her and putting her arm around her for comfort. "You just have to learn that all men aren't
always as great as they seem,""But I've known him my whole life and now he says things like this?""College
is an eye-opening experience Joey; a lot of emotions get opened-up that you didn't even know existed,""I'm
going to call him," she said, standing up and walking over to the phone "I'm going to call him and straighten
all this stuff out,""Joey…""I mean he's in a new place which is so different
to home and he's having a breakdown… all he needs to do is hear my voice and everything will be fine,""That's
a mistake,""It is not a mistake, it's a very good idea," she argued dialing the number. "Its
really not" she told her taking the phone out of her hand and hanging it up. "Dawson feels how he feels Joey,
and nothing will change that,""I can change that Bessie; once he talks to me he'll realize that…""Do
you really want him to change his mind just because you call him Joey?" Bessie asked. "I mean… if he doesn't
want to be with you do you really want him to talk him back around to your point of view,""He's
just scared,""Isn't it better to say this now rather than a few years down the line, when you think
you're settled for the rest of your life?""He's just having doubts Bessie,""And
you're just too scared to let him go because you'll be alone,""That's not true,"
she argued."You didn't go to Paris Joey; not because you didn't think it was the right time for
you but because it was too much of a leap to be without him. You need to distance yourself before he becomes the only thing
you know,""You don't even know what you're talking about!""Do I have to
spell it out to you Joey?" She asked, taking her by her shoulders. "Dawson is holding you back from achieving
your dreams; he held you back in the past, he's holding you back now and he will still hold you back in the future,""He's not holding me back," Joey argued. "He's
the one that propels me forward,""You just say that because you know nothing else. Dawson Leery is the
only boy you have ever let get into your heart and Capeside is the only place you have ever existed,""Is
that so bad?" she asked. "I mean so what if I haven't
had a lot of boyfriends and slept with half the football team? I mean is that what you want me to do?""I'm
not suggesting that Joey…""I'm happy with him...""Are you?" She
asked, staring her sister in the eyes. "Because I don't think you are,""how would you know?""You
don't smile anymore," she told her. "You don't smile and it makes me really sad,""Do
I have to grin from ear to ear to prove that I'm happy?""No… but I just wish you would smile
once in a while,""You don't know anything,""Can I give you some sisterly advice
Joey?" She asked and Joey sighed heavily as she nodded. "I packed you a bag… I think you should go to Italy
with your friends for the summer,""Not you too," Joey groaned. "I just think you need
to go out and have some fun whilst you can; travel like you've always wanted,""I don't want
to," she told her. "How many times do I have to say it until someone believes it!""How about
until you mean it Joey,""You're all
insane people!""We just want the best for you; Jen really wants you to go and she is your best friend,""So?""So I think you owe it to her to go on a trip you
two planned because you wanted to have a stress-free and fun-loving summer before you start with adult responsibilities,"
"I can't go right now… and this letter has made me realize that I need to be here more than ever,""You're
throwing your life away!" Bessie said, taking the phone and handing it to her. "So if you want to do that then go ahead and call him but I'll tell you something Joey…" Bessie said angrily
picking up her coat. "I'm not going to sit here and watch you do it and I'm not going to pick up the pieces
of your broken life!""Bessie!" Joey called as her sister walked towards the door."Life
is what you make it Joey and you have the opportunity to do things I never could,""Bessie!" Joey
shouted as Bessie waked out and slammed the front door behind her.Sitting down in the chair Joey looked between the
phone and the letter, debating what to do. Taking a few moments to gather her thought she picked up the phone and dialed his
number."Hello?""Dawson?" Joey asked as he picked up the phone."Joe—""How
could you do this!" She shouted at him, waving the letter in her hand as she spoke and cutting of anything he had to
say. "How could you go away and write such a despicably cowardly letter!""I didn't know how
to say it to your face,""So you felt this way before you left?""A little,""We've
been friends our whole life Dawson; we've been dating on-and-off since tenth grade and you wait all this time!"
She shouted trough the phone. "All this time," she repeated slowly. "You waited all this time to tell me
that you don't feel you're secure in this relationship! What is with you, you self-absorbed big-headed ignoramus!""I…
I…" she heard him stutter through he phone."I Mean I have given you everything that I had to give!""That's
the point Joey; you've given me everything and I gave everything back to you,""So?""So
I can't give you everything anymore; I have other priorities now,""Priorities? Playing with your
Sony is a priority over me?""It's hardly playing with a Sony Jo…""Do you
even love me?""Of course I do Jo," he told her. "After all this time do you honestly doubt that,""Yes Dawson I do; people that love
each other don't hurt each other,""This isn't all my fault,""Excuse me!""This
isn't all my fault; you have to take some blame too,""Me!" Joey shouted through the phone
gob smacked. "Me? I have to take blame?""If
you were more understanding to…""I understand! All I do is understand,""If you
hadn't held back so many times then…""Oh my god," Joey sighed. "This is about
me not sleeping with you before you went away isn't it?""Partially," he answered coldly. "I
needed to… I had to know that you loved me,""Since when did I have to sleep with you to prove that
I love you?" She asked, letting an angry tear fall from her duct. "Since when!""Since we became adults Joey; it's what adults do,""So now that
you're eighteen you're a man huh?" She asked
angrily, spitting her words. "You're a big burly
man huh?""Joey…""Don't Joey me… I'm sick of you joey-ing me
and treating me like I'm some kind of property!""You are; you're my girlfriend!" He
exploded through the phone and then went silent"Oh..." Joey sighed angrily. "So just because someone
is your girlfriend that automatically makes them I'm your property" Joey said angrily, letting a sharp sigh escape from her mouth. "In a word… Yeah. You're
mine and I'm yours,""When did you turn into this person?" she asked after a long silence.
"When did you turn into this guy?" She asked him and he didn't speak, unable to break the silence. "When
did you become this person that I don't know?""He's still here," he told her. "He's
just grown up,""Then you've grown into a man that I can't possibly love,""Come
out," he asked after a moment. "Come out to LA,""What for?""To prove that
you love me,""You want me to come out to LA after what you just said and sleep with you?" she asked,
opening her mouth in shock."Yes,""Sleep with whom?" She asked. "Dawson Leery
or… this…. This other person that you've become? Capeside Dawson or LA Dawson?""Plain
Dawson… there's no separate people here Jo; just me,""But I don't know you," she
told him. "I don't know where you've gone?""I'm still here,""I'm
not… I'm not here anymore," she answered in a lingering whisper hanging up the phone slowly and staring
at the receiver in shock of what had just happened.
"Okay- Last minute check," Drue Valentine said as he finished his bottle of beer and slammed it down
on the art deco coffee-table."Don't do
that!" Doug warned, picking up the bottle and pushing him backwards with it. "That's a very expensive piece
of furniture that you're abusing""Okay Suzie, that's enough of the girlie pushing,"
he joked "When we get to Tuscany… you… dead!" Doug promised. "Okay!" Drue
sighed, clasping his hands together "Is everyone here?" He asked as he looked around. "Stunning example
of masculinity?" he said and smiled pointing to himself. "Check. Less attractive singleton?""Check!"
Will answered."Beautiful woman betrothed to me?""Betrothed?" Lisa asked, placing her
hands on her hips. "I am not betrothed to you, I just pity you""But you are here aren't you
honey?""Obviously,""Good," He smiled. "Insane friend who almost didn't
come because he was moping around for weeks on end eating co-co pops in his underwear?""Check,"
Pacey sighed."And finally… Token Gay?""Death," Doug warned stonily. "Check!
Do we all Have Passports!" Drue said, holding up his passport as he stood in the middle of Doug and Pacey's apartment
surrounded by luggage."Check!" came the tired reply from everyone as they finished off their drinks and
slung their bags over their shoulders."So Doug, how do you feel being on a trip with your brother, two gorgeous
guys and a girl? I mean are you bisexual or do you just swing one gay way?" Drue asked and Doug placed his arm around
his neck, pulling him into a headlock much to the Hilarity of their three companions "Listen here Drew,"
he said between gritted teeth. "I have taken all of my annual leave as well as my holiday allowance to go on this damn
trip and if you so much as hint to anyone that I am gay I will kill you, do you understand,""You're
cutting off my vital air supply," Drue said, gripping Doug's hands and trying to apart them. "And
that's a problem?""It's attempted murder," he whispered painfully"I wouldn't
say that," Doug chuckled. "I mean… if I don't succeed it's attempted murder; if I actually kill
you it's murder,""Please stop, it hurts and I can't breathe,""Good. So
you know what will happen if you so much as hint to it?""Yep," Drew strained and fell down as Doug
finally let him go, coughing out breaths. "Y'know you don't have to live a lie," he managed."I
am not gay!""Touchy much?" he chuckled and moved away from him when he went for him again. "Let's
just go and catch that plane shall we?""Lets," Doug smiled and let out a frustrated breath."Y'know
Drue doesn't't mean it right?" Will said as he stood beside him, slinging his arm loosely around his shoulder.
"He just has a weird personality,""If he keeps saying it he wont have a voice box in which to express
it with,""Cool down Doug, I don't think Pacey would be too happy if you killed one of his best friends
on holiday,""I wouldn't mind," Pacey told him, slapping Doug on the back as he headed for
the door. "I don't even know why I'm doing this Will," Doug said shaking his head. "I
mean we get on fine but you're Pacey's friend, not mine; and I can't stand Drue, I have no idea who that
girl is. I may as well go home right now,""And leave me alone for three months with those two whilst Pacey
swans off to mope in a field?" he asked pointing to Drue and Lisa who kissed as they stood by the door. "I don't
think so buddy,""Okay but only because I pity you," "Come on we're going to
miss our flight if we don't go now," Pacey said as he opened the door to come Face to Face with a girl."Nikki!"

- BA in Criminology
- MA in Criminology and Social Justice
- Minor in Criminology
As part of the degree requirements for an MA in Criminology and Social Justice, the program offers two streams for in-depth learning — the Major Research Paper (MRP) and the Field Placement.
Doing a Field Placement offers opportunities to:
Through the Field Placement, students will apply and test their classroom learning in settings such as:
Typically, a Field Placement will involve 120-hours or four weeks of full-time equivalent placement with an appropriate organization during the Spring/Summer term (May – July). All placements must be completed by the end of the Spring/Summer term in order to graduate in the Fall.
The Field Placement may be paid or unpaid.
Students need to complete five requirements to receive a Pass grade:
During the Winter term (January - April), students will prepare for their Field Placement.
Students will attend three seminars in the Winter term. The objective is to prepare the students to translate academic concepts and research evidence into practice, applying these to work with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations.
Note: Other seminars with guest speakers from the sector will be scheduled from time to time during the Winter term. Attendance at these seminars will be voluntary.
Vulnerable Sector Screening
In compliance with Ryerson University policy, all students working with vulnerable members of society are required to complete a police vulnerable sector screening (VSS) before they can be part of a field placement.
Vulnerable Persons defined as: Persons who, because of their age, a disability or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent, are in a position of dependence on others, or, deemed by the University, to be at greater risk than the general population of being harmed by persons in a position of authority or trust relative to them.
The process of applying and funding the cost of the VSS will be the responsibility of the student. The VSS must be valid for the duration of the Field Placement.
Vulnerable Sector Screening Policy and Procedure
Prior to commencing their Field Placements, students will complete and get the relevant signatures for:
