URBN 1230 S03 [CRN: 25980]
Crime has declined in the United States since the 1990s, but not uniformly across cities and neighborhoods. Drawing from sociology, criminology, and history, this course engages theories of crime and policing; examines consequences of fear of crime; and considers the lived experiences of youth, families, community members, and police navigating crime in urban centers. In-depth topics include: perceptions of crime, disorder, underground economies, neighborhood organization, gangs, violence, organized crime, police interactions, incarceration and parole. Data on the city of Providence will be analyzed to test and generate crime and policing theories.
