CRCJ 3350 CRIMINOLOGY (3 credits)
This course is about facts and frameworks. The facts that we are interested in are facts about criminal behavior and the frameworks are theories that organize these facts in a coherent fashion. As we learn about criminological facts and the theories that organize these facts we will pay attention to research so that we understand how these facts are developed and how these theories are tested. We will also try to draw out the policy implications of the various facts and theories that we address.
Prerequisite(s): CRCJ 1010, ENGL 1160, and 45 credit hours; or instructor permission.
