A study of sociological theorists. Designed to teach the theoretical foundations necessary for the critical study of crime and justice, the course will cover a range of theories focusing on those that assist in a critique of problems of power in matters of crime and justice.

Selected topics of contemporary relevance in the field of Crime and Justice studies. Active discussions, mini-lectures, filed simulations, student presentations, role-playing, guest speakers, and field observations may be utilized. A significant research project will be required.

Introduction to the ways in which different academic disciplines explore the history, culture and social dynamics of cities, and how to make urban life viable, sustainable and just. The goal is to engage students in exploring the nature of urban life and finding ways to promote the social, cultural, and economic vibrancy of cities in our region, nationally, and globally.
