BIG ISSUES IN CRIMINOLOGY
LST3BIG
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject will employ cutting edge thinking in relation to key criminological concepts, debates and challenges. It will demonstrate how the focus, function and practice of criminology continues to be debated inflight of such thinking, and how this results in diverse and often innovative responses to address crime and related social problems. A variety of topics and case studies will be used to illustrate this. These will include: decolonising criminology, discretionary police powers and Indigenous people, the incarceration of trans inmates, and criminological approaches to offshore detention.
