This is the first semester of a year-long introductory sequence on major problems in criminal justice. The focus of the first semester is on the definition of crime and major crime strategies. The overarching aim of this course is to familiarize students with the sorts of questions researchers ask and how they go about answering them. Students will be asked to read original research and data, and to use these materials to construct hypotheses and original research questions.
