Criminal Justice-coas | Public Control of Deviant Behavior
P460 | 4285 | Noble
The focus of this course will be the examination of so called deviant
behavior in our society. Major areas of study will include: addiction,
family violence, prostitution, rape, mental illness, and homicide. From a
psychosocial perspective we will examine the etiology of these behaviors,
society's labeling process, and how the criminal justice system reacts to
these behaviors.
