Criminalization and Punishment credit:

3 Hours

Examines how populations are criminalized due to race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and immigration status. Readings analyze how laws are created and normalized. In order to effectively engage in critical inquiry, students will be asked to suspend moral judgments so that they can analytically approach the study of crime, criminals, and criminal activity. Same as AAS 343 , AFRO 343 , AIS 343 , and GWS 343 .
