    Description
    This course is a study of theories of crime and criminal behavior, including an explanation of crime, socio-historical contexts of crime, crime as a social construct, correlative factors of criminal activity, and how crime is measured. Major sociological and social science theories will be explored surrounding the issues of crime and criminal behavior including a critical intersectional approach to the analysis of institutional and interactional experience with crime and criminality. Optional field trips may be offered.
