Crime, Disorder and Community Safety Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Program Fall 2019 Semester - London

This module examines the changing relation and significance of crime, disorder and community safety. Beginning from a review of the nature of crime and explores the processes by which crime is constructed. In order to fully examine the meaning of crime the module examines the dimensions to construction by drawing on the ?square of crime? model as developed by realist criminologists. This involves some consideration of victimisation, public opinion and the role of official enforcement agencies. In relation to this deconstruction process the module will go on to examine the growing concerns with disorder, anti-social behaviour and community safety, particularly with reference to the recent decline in crime.
