About this subject
This is a foundational subject in Criminology. You will focus on criminological approaches to understanding crime and criminalisation. The subject will introduce various categories of crime (e.g. property crime and violent crime) and debates about what counts as crime and harm (e.g. crimes of the powerful versus the less powerful). You will engage not only with research that highlights patterns of crime but also with important critiques about the measurement of crime. The subject invites you to consider the relationships between specific social groups (e.g. young people, women, Indigenous people) and the criminal justice system.
