CR 430 - Crime and Social Inequality

3 Credits
This course will examine the impact of social inequality on crime, as well as how crime impacts inequalities in our culture. Students will examine the various effects that disparate conditions have on certain populations in our culture, and in turn how those inequalities can affect crime, criminal behavior, and our criminal justice system’s reaction to it. In addition, the interaction of conditions like class, age, gender, race, and ethnicity with criminal behavior will be scrutinized. Social conditions in our culture which may have direct and indirect effects on both offenders and victims will be investigated. The course will explore application of the Mercy values into societal responses to inequality and the responses of the criminal justice system to criminal behavior and victimization. Prerequisites: CR 101 , CR 110 , SO 101 , and SO 102 .
