註釋

Introduction to criminology is a course that provides an overview of the study of crime and criminal behavior. This includes a focus on the theories, policies, and practices related to the prevention, control, and treatment of crime. The course covers topics such as the nature and extent of crime, theories of criminal behavior (such as classical, biological, and psychological perspectives), the role of the criminal justice system, and types of crime (such as property, violent, and white-collar crime). One key theme of the course is the interdisciplinary nature of criminology. The field draws on insights from psychology, sociology, law, and other disciplines to understand the causes and consequences of crime. The course also highlights how criminology operates at different levels of analysis, from individual-level factors that contribute to criminality to macro-level forces that shape crime rates across regions and countries. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of different criminological theories and to consider how these theories can inform policy and practice in the criminal justice system.
