Introduction to Criminology

Learners will analyze the relationship between crime and society. They will examine basic criminology concepts and criminological theories and will use these theoretical foundations to develop positions on problems and solutions for crime and criminal behavior. They will also address prevention and crime control strategies, and will assess the effectiveness of policing practice, the courts, corrections, and alternatives to incarceration. (Formerly LESD101)
