C J 3400 - Theories of Crime and Justice (3)

When Offered: Fall; Spring
The course considers the underlying causes of crime and the social responses of justice, two constructs which transcend the boundaries of any one discipline or field of study. The course approaches the subject matter from a cross-disciplinary perspective. Explanations of crime causation from the perspectives of biology, psychology, sociology, political science, economics, and anthropology are presented, discussed, and evaluated.
