Course Catalog Description:
Crime and criminal justice is a gendered phenomena. In this seminar course, we will examine the contribution of feminist theoretical work to the field of criminology and to our understanding of how gender prescriptives are embedded in and influence criminal behaviors, the operation of the criminal justice system, and our conceptualizations of both. In so doing, we will critically assess the experiences of women, men and transgender persons in the criminal justice system as victims, offenders, and defendants. The readings are drawn from a broad range of interdisciplinary empirical works. Students should critically assess both the strengths and limitations of the research. Lecture will be accompanied by class discussion, film segments (as well as legal proceedings), and small group work.Soc 1001 or Soc 1101 recommended; Soc majors/minors must register A-F
