CRM 405 - Seminar: Crimes of the PowerfulThree Credits
Spring Semester
This course critically examines the various dimensions of crimes of the powerful, in contrast to a focus on crimes of the powerless. Grounded in critical and realist criminology, the class studies various forms of state and state-corporate crimes, including genocide, war crimes, police crime, environmental crime and crimes of globalization. The course prepares students to understand causation, victimization, and control problems of this often hidden but extremely harmful form of deviance. In addition, the class explores these crimes through the foundation of human rights and the international criminal justice system.
Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): CRM 201 and one additional CRM course.
