Level Two: [1]
Criminology & Crime ControlLinking crime theory with the historical effort to design the means of preventing or deterring it: If social deprivation is an underlying factor how well has social progress curbed criminogenic influences?Does surveillance work? can we “design crime out?”If the criminal is a ‘rational actor’ how can we make crime the ‘irrational choice’?

Critical Perspectives on Criminal Justice
