CRJ 365 - Perspectives on Violence, 3 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): SOC 100D or CRJ 165
Americans today seem to be much more concerned about crime, especially violent crime, than in years past. While this fear is understandable, careful consideration of the “violence problem” leads to different ideas than those generally held in the minds of most citizens and those broadcast on national television. This course is an interdisciplinary inquiry into the patterns and correlates of violence, its various forms, such as interpersonal and collective violence, and attempts to control its occurrence.
