This course is for learners who are interested in understanding crime as it relates to the field of criminology. It focuses on the central issue of defining crime. While many people would be content to accept a clinical definition of crime, that is, it being ?behavior that violates the law,? such a definition would only necessitate changing the individual?s crime calculus in reducing such behavior. Modern criminologists have come to believe that crime is a more complex enterprise since they are acutely aware that what is considered a crime may also be a product outside of the individual?s control. Yet, both issues are important factors in developing a better understanding of (1) why people break the law; (2) how society responds to offenders; and (3) how criminologists define crime and conceptualized these affects relative to that of the criminal. Therefore, it is important for learners in those fields of study dealing with crime to have better understanding to the how and why or ?root cause? of such a trenchant issue as criminal behavior. This course is designed for learners in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, and sociology. |
