Course summary
What factors can explain changes in crime rates? How is climate change linked to the crimes of the powerful? Are prisons the appropriate response to criminal acts? Are we all treated equally before the law? In this course, you'll examine the dynamic and often challenging relationships between the state, offenders, victims, and society. You'll critically study how laws are made, and explore how social structures influence crime, crime control and justice. Through class discussions, research-based activities and real case studies, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the forces that shape both criminal justice policies and their lived experiences.
