Description: Students will explore how societies and social groups come to define some behaviors and characteristics as deviant; patterns and explanations of social deviance among adults and youths (in areas such as violence, aggression, criminality, drug use, white-collar crime, academic deviance and variations in sexual conduct); and how societies and groups respond to social deviance. Alternative social science theories about such behavior are compared and contrasted.  Research methodologies and findings in recent social-science literature are examined and interpreted.

Recommended prerequisites include: Introduction to Criminal Justice or Exploring Society or Introduction to Psychology or equivalents.

Important Note: This course was titled Deviant Behavior from 2007 to January 2014.
