    Description
    This course is an introduction to the sociological analysis of crime/criminalization, deviance, and the development of modern criminal justice systems. It explores the history and social construction of crime and deviance and examines the definition of crime and its violations as well as the laws and methods used to reduce criminal behavior. It also compares measures of crime and basic theoretical explanations of criminal behavior, alongside competing theories of justice.
