Description

Examines criminal justice from the perspective of local communities. Focuses on questions of how local communities affect and are affected by crime and criminal justice. A central concern will be the discussion of characteristics of neighborhoods that lead to high rates of criminality and how federal, state, and local policies not directly concerned with crime policy may nonetheless bear on crime rates.  The City of Boston will be used as a laboratory in which to study these issues.

Also offered by the Sociology Department as Soc. 193, but not offered in 2008–09.
