Crime Theories and Victimization is an upper division, writing intensive course that serves as part of your Criminal Justice major core (a general description of the course and learning objectives also is available on this site). This class provides a critical look at both historical and contemporary theories of crime and criminal offending. Notably, there is no one-size-fits all criminological theory, so we will analyze crime from a number of difference perspectives including, but not limited to, biological, psychological, social, and environmental.
