1 Foundations in Criminology and Criminal Justice Course organiser: Dr Caroline Lanskey This paper provides an introduction to the field of criminology, its debates and challenges, its current research preoccupations and future directions. It aims to enable students to develop an informed and critical appreciation of theories of crime and responses to crime in local and international contexts and a broad understanding of the research issues in the study of crime and criminal justice. The paper is divided into three parts: Part I: Criminological concepts and contexts Part II: Understanding criminal activity Part III: Criminal justice responses and consequences The lectures will address these general topics with reference to specific case studies for example, gangs, drugs, terrorism, young people, women. The course is deliberately cross-cultural in focus, covering criminology in different international contexts. It will focus on the acquisition of key concepts, theories and debates, interpretation and critique of these concepts and use of these reflective insights to, solve problems (e.g. how do we reduce knife crime?) and innovate through thought experiments (e.g. What would a society without punishment look like?) Lectures will be held on Mondays from 10 – 12 pm in Room 1.8 at the Institute of Criminology. Lectures are central to this paper and students are strongly advised to attend all of them. The two- hour block will enable discussion of illustrative case studies. The paper requires 6 substantive supervisions: three in the Michaelmas term and three in the Lent term. Four of the supervisions are essay-based. In the other two supervisions students may be asked to contribute in different ways e.g. present on a topic, discuss a case study or provide a book or film review. The reading list in the paper guide and the supervision questions below provide guidance for students and supervisors. Students are not expected to cover all topics but to make a balanced selection in consultation with their supervisors.

Part 1 Criminological concepts and contexts The first part of the course considers definitional and operational issues. What is criminology? How do we generate criminological knowledge? How do we define offenders and victims? What are the consequences of our definitions?

1. What is criminology? This first lecture provides an introduction to the field of criminology, its disciplinary characteristics, its subject interests and reach. It considers political, social and academic dynamics orienting the field and its current preoccupations. It considers debates on ‘public criminology’ and asks ‘who or what is criminology for’?

2 How is criminological knowledge generated? This lecture considers the methods of criminological research. It describes different research approaches and the assumptions that underpin them. Using a case study of cyber-crime it discusses the challenges of conducting criminological research, the range of data sources (research-generated and ‘official) from which criminologists can collect data and their relative strengths and limitations. It considers broader debates on objectivity and subjectivity, particularity and universality. How do we assess the quality of criminological research?

3 What is crime? The following four lectures discuss key concepts in the study of criminology. The first asks ‘what is meant by ‘crime’? It considers the strengths and limitations of different approaches from legal definitions to wider conceptualisations of social harm. It addresses debates on crime as a social construct and the ‘reality’ of crime. It considers change and variability in definitions across countries. Key questions: Which activities are defined as criminal and why? How do definitions change over time? Who and what is criminalised as a consequence? The discussions will consider changing legal responses to homosexuality, and the creation of ‘new crimes’ such as ‘hate crimes’ and ‘crimmigration’.

4. Borders of criminology This lecture extends the discussion in the previous one to consider criminology or criminologies ‘at the edge’. It considers the development of ‘green criminologies’ and arguments to move beyond the concept of crime to a broader conceptualisation of social and environmental harm. What are the advantages and disadvantages of moving beyond ‘crime’ as an orienting definition?

5. Who are ‘offenders’? Lectures 5 and 6 consider definitions of offenders and victims. The first asks ‘who is defined as an offender? The individual law breaker? The group? The organisation? The state? It considers the ways in which people who break the law have been portrayed over time: the ‘outlaw’; the dangerous or risky ‘other’ and debates on the age at which young people are considered to be responsible for criminal activities.

6. Who are ‘victims’? We consider the ways in which victims have been defined, including different typologies and the concept of victim ‘worthiness and the frequent overlap between being a victim and being an offender. It considers research on victims of ‘hidden or invisible’ crimes, such as of corporate crime, crimes of the state and victims who are ‘hidden’ or invisible’ themselves such as families bereaved through murder, prisoners’ families.

Part II Understanding criminal activity The following ten lectures focus on research which aims to identify why people break the law. We will discuss theories of crime in relation to four orienting analytical constructs: society, power, the personal and the temporal with consideration too of the contexts in which theories developed.

7. Crime and Society I The first two lectures discuss theories of crime which are oriented towards the influence of society on the person. In the first lecture we cover macro-theories of society - theorists’ application of Durkheim’s concept of Anomie in the development of Strain theories and their extension into theories of subcultures. In both these lectures we draw on research on gang formation to understand and critique the theories.

10. Crime and Power II The second lecture considers theories arguing the development of crime as a consequence of processes of ‘othering, ’of social exclusion and marginalisation: labelling and stigmatisation. With reference to feminist research on crimes committed by women and critical race theorising of hate crimes, it also considers the extent to which power differentials between majority and minority ethnic populations and between men and women are relevant to our understanding of the causes of crime.

Part III Criminal Justice Responses and Consequences The third part of the programme considers societies’ responses to those who break the law. It identifies different approaches to criminal ‘justice’ and their effects.

17. Criminal Justice Policy Making: Societal Drivers This first lecture considers drivers for criminal justice policies at global and local levels. It discusses writings on late modern societies, neoliberalism, post-colonialism, globalisation, law and religion and political transition. Drawing on comparative analyses of justice systems it asks how do macro theories of society help us to understand the workings and practices of criminal justice systems today?

25. Punishment in Theory The first part of this lecture asks what social functions does punishment serve? It provides an overview of key sociological theories of punishment and their explanatory concepts of social solidarity (Durkheim), bureaucratic governance (Weber), political economy and class control (Marx), technology of power (Foucault) culture (Garland) The second part asks: how do societies justify the use of punishment?

31 Criminal justice, fairness and equality This final lecture discusses (un)fairness and (in)equality in criminal justice processes. It looks at discrimination and disadvantage in the criminal justice processes by looking at the experiences of women, ethnic minorities, the wrongfully convicted and secondary victims of crime. It considers why these groups are disadvantaged by criminal justice processes and asks what should justice look like for these groups?

32 ‘More Research is Needed’ This final discussion seminar asks what are the pressing issues in criminal justice today? What are the gaps in our understanding of crime and crime control? What is seen and not seen by the constructs that criminologists and criminal justice agents employ? What are the key problems facing criminal justice processes and practices? What are the resolutions? What should be on future criminological research agenda? It considers these questions in relation to recent debates about knife crime in the UK. Required Reading Aas, K.F.
