Critical criminology is a radical and politically progressive field of criminological study that examines the intersections between crime and power. This module will provide students with an introduction to the field of critical criminology. Students will challenge conventional understandings and definitions of crime, as well as the tenets of orthodox criminology. Students will engage critically with national, international, and interdisciplinary subject matter using a wide variety of critical criminology perspectives, including, Marxist, feminist, queer, critical race, Indigenous, southern, rural, green, cultural, postmodernist, and abolitionist criminologies. Students will also develop a critical appreciation of how structures and relations of power shape the processes of criminalization and victimization.
