| Description: | How do societies define and respond to crime? How is law created and reformed, and what happens to people in the justice system? Explore these topics and gain an understanding of how they connect to broader issues of social regulation and control. Criminology is about defining and responding to crime (including organized crime, terrorism, corporate and state crime).
