This course considers a range of explanatory theories emanating from a range of disciplines that contribute to current understandings of gender, crime, deviance, social theory and social control. Theories and constructions of crime, deviance, violence and gender will be discussed as these relate to gendered experiences within and without the criminal justice system.
This is a blended learning course and as such has face-to-face lectures in term 1 with online only classes in term 2. This is to give you more flexibility and to spread your assignment due dates, as requested by student feedback. The online classes in term 2 will be open all semester so you can plan your assignments accordingly.
