Description
Criminology has many meanings but at its widest and most commonly accepted it is taken to be the study of crime, criminals and criminal justice. There are many different approaches to criminology and the subject itself has been shaped by many different academic disciplines.
This course focuses on sociology and criminology. It outlines the distinctiveness of a sociological approach to crime and suggests how this differs from other approaches.
If you are a criminal - don't get this course. This course is meant for cops and for law enforcement personnel.
If you are a police officer or a criminal lawyer or even a judge - and you haven't taken this yet and you don't know how criminals think and what makes them do what they do then you are losing the fight. It's a war against crime and for justice. We are in this together and when I teach you about crime and about criminals I do so because you are not as effective as you should be when it comes to realizing that the academic instituion can offer you tools that you rarely use. Here they are. Crime is a subject of study and society is something we can observe and learn from.
