This course addresses the study of deviance and social control from a sociological perspective. Students will apply a number of key theoretical approaches purporting to explain criminal and non-criminal deviant behavior, as well as conformity. What behavior is 'normal' and what is 'deviant'? We will explore the social construction of deviance, and how definitions may be influenced by various factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, age, class, power, etc. Prerequisite(s): None.
