Dear students,

We have a few weeks left in the semester. This week you have Exam 3 to complete. Those students who have not submitted Short Assignment #3 need to hurry.

This week we will be focusing on the labeling theory. Originating in the mid-to-late-1960s in the United States at a moment of tremendous political and cultural conflict, labeling theorists brought to center stage the role of government agencies, and social processes in general, in the creation of deviance and crime. Learn all about it by studying the materials in Week 13 Unit. There is also a discussion about school to prison pipeline (using the labeling theory approach to understand it).

Exam 3 will be available on Thursday, December 1st on Blackboard. You will have until Sunday, December 4th to complete it. I posted the questions for Exam 3 here: https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/crj-102-0502-criminology-professor-satenik-margaryan-fall-2022/wp-content/uploads/sites/2601/2022/11/CRJ-102-Exam-3-Questions.docx

I have office hours today, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm, and on Tuesday and Thursday, from 9:45 am to 10:45 am. Stop by if you have questions about the past three short assignments or anything else.
