This class will provide a broad overview of the sociology of murder- the intentional, malicious killing of one human by another. This course will go beyond what we see about murder regularly in the media and on popular TV shows and movies.
This course is about murder - a particularly grisly topic for some. Please be advised that during the semester, students will view/watch gruesome images and discuss graphic portrayals of crimes. This course assumes that students enrolling in this class are capable of tolerating this dark subject matter.
