CSJ 401 Victimology

Students will apply key theories of victimology to analyze the role of societal factors in shaping victimization, the impacts on individuals and communities, and the implications for society. Students will also assess the effectiveness of victim-centered policies and victim support services provided by the criminal justice system and other community-based organizations through theoretical, practical, and equity-minded lenses. Integrating theory, research, and policy analysis, this course will help students explore the “victim's” social construction and foster critical inquiry into current societal contexts.
