Course Description:
This module provides an exploration of some of the major theoretical perspectives that have been developed by both
criminologists and sociologists in relation to crime and deviance. It covers a number of theoretical developments from
‘classical’ criminological theory onwards, focusing in particular on innovations in the UK and USA since the 20th century
inter-war period. It situates these theories within specific contexts of society and criminal justice, exploring the interplay
between theory and practice. A second module in year 2 - SOC2033 Responses to Crime and Deviance - will cover more
critical and recent developments in criminological theory.
