Organized Crime and Society

This course will critically analyse the issues surrounding organized crime in society, advancing a sociological perspective. The analysis will primarily be grounded in theory as well as in an applied research approach that emphasizes a police and government functional and operational perspective. While concentrating on sociological and criminological theory, the approach to this topic is multi-disciplinary and will involve other fields, including economics, history, political science, psychology and deviant behaviour, criminal intelligence, and systems theory, among others.

This course is only available for students enrolled in JIBC programs.
