This course highlights the social construction of crime by examining the social factors that impact how we define, recognize, measure, and respond to criminal behavior. Using criminological theory, the course traces how ideas surrounding the nature of crime and punishment have changed and continue to change across time and place. The course also gives special attention to the intersections between various forms of social stratification and experiences with crime and the criminal justice system, including police, courts, and prisons. Prerequisite: SOA 100 or permission of instructor. Spring semester. Offered 2018-19 and alternate years. Mullaney.
