Description

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. There is significant input from visiting professionals in criminal justice and allied practices relevant to the topic. 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 some face-to-face lectures, with some online only classes to give you more flexibility. It also spreads the assessment across the topic more broadly to ensure all your assignments are not cramped together or occur when other course assessments are due.
