The purpose of this course is to acquaint you with the social understanding and nature of crime, criminology and related social theory. This course is designed to acquaint senior students with the development of crime and deviance.
Some attention is also devoted to the treatment and prevention of criminal behavior.
The review of ideas will encompass both classical and contemporary figures, ideas, and theories. If students desire a seminar purely on policy, policing or criminal justice, they are advised to seek a different course. Office Hours I want to be available when you come to my office, and I do want to meet with you as the occasion arises. It is the responsibility of students who miss class to obtain class notes and announcements from other students in the class. Consequently, you are well advised to link up with another student in this class as a study partner.
