Students will study how cultural, historical, political, and geographical factors affect the patterns of how crime unfolds and the prevalence of crime, especially in the U.S. The course emphasizes criminological theory and the adjunct must be comfortable in this area.

The course also addresses the impact of these institutions on different social groups, emphasizing the racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and gendered impacts of the criminal justice system. Both courses also count towards the Social Systems and Human Behaviors of Webster's Global Citizenship Program.
