Description

Students will gain a general understanding of the nature of criminal behavior from both the classical and the deterministic schools. Theories and research focusing on the individual causes and social and environmental determinants will also be explored. The theories are placed against a backdrop of the pendulum swing between punishment and rehabilitation that has guided policy and procedures in criminal justice penal philosophy since inception. Prerequisite: CRJU-122.
