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 criminologists 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.
