4 semester hours

This course examines the criminal law in the U.S. from a sociological perspective, as a set of “social control” processes by which norms are transmitted and enforced. Topics include how the law defines crime and particular forms of crime, drug abuse, and alcohol-related crime, and various legal defenses available to the accused.
