CRIM 2104: Sociological Explanations of Criminal and Deviant Behaviour

Students examine major sociological perspectives on crime and deviance, including mainstream and critical theories, particularly: anomie, neutralization, control, conflict, sub-cultural, ecological, functionalist, interactionist, and critical. Students scrutinize theoretical assumptions, similarities among and differences between various explanations, the historical/political contexts in which the theories emerged, and the policy implications of different theoretical perspectives. This course aims to foster critical thinking about the influence of sociological theories of crime and deviance while recognizing the intersection of theory, research, and the Canadian context.
