This course is a critical examination of the basic and advanced definitions,
concepts, and theories sociologists and criminologists use to study adult
criminal offending and juvenile delinquency. Such a study requires
surveying the major theoretical and methodological perspectives
crimino-logists employ to study crime and deviance; determining the
character and extent of crime and delinquency in history and in our own
time; and exploring the institutional responses to activities and
positions defined as criminal, that is, the machinery of social control. |
