Main themes
The aim of this course is to bring together the different strands of the Criminology courses and provide an overview through a particular area of application.
The course also aims to introduce students to: the theoretical underpinnings (explicit and implicit) of criminological practices; the aims as distinct from the practices; notions of what one can expect from a particular theory, in terms of understanding the issues, and from a particular practice, in terms of its effectiveness; an ethical approach to targeted effectiveness; intra - and interdisciplinary issues of confrontation; the adequacy of theories and actions as a response to "society's problems"; appropriate ways of interrelating the various theoretical approaches through integrated models, the linking of individual practices and theories etc; the different situations in which one type of action is to be preferred over another, possible links between the processes involved in containment, accommodation and resistance; the question of how to evaluate these practices and the issues this raises.
