This is an in­tro­duc­tory and foun­da­tional course in the study of crime and jus­tice. It is de­signed to in­tro­duce stu­dents to the var­i­ous his­tor­i­cal and con­tem­po­rary the­o­ries and em­pir­i­cal re­search used to un­der­stand de­viant and crim­i­nal be­hav­ior. This course takes a crit­i­cal ap­proach to the study of the de­f­i­n­i­tion and mea­sure­ment of crime, as well as ap­pli­ca­tions of these the­o­ries to prac­tice and in pol­icy. Of­fend­ing and vic­tim­iza­tion, as these re­late to spe­cific crime types (i.e., white col­lar crime, vi­o­lent crime, sex crime, drug re­lated crimes, etc.) will be ex­plored.

Race, Eq­uity and In­clu­sion (REI) at BMCC is cen­tered on the col­lege’s work nec­es­sary to un­der­stand­ing and ad­dress­ing sys­temic racism to cre­ate a more eq­ui­table sys­tem for in­di­vid­u­als and fam­i­lies from his­tor­i­cally mar­gin­al­ized groups. The De­part­ment of So­cial Sci­ences, Human Ser­vices and Crim­i­nal Jus­tice has cre­ated its own REI com­mit­tee to ac­tively work to dis­man­tle sys­temic racism and struc­tural in­equal­ity across the de­part­ment. We seek to work with our col­leagues to think crit­i­cally about course con­tent to pro­mote more in­clu­sive teach­ing and learn­ing.
