Course Description
This course examines key questions and debates about crime, order and disorder in city landscapes. It focuses on three broad issues: competing meanings and practices of the city (the what and the who questions); the relationship between crime, space and place (the where and the how questions); and the complex mix of informal and formal social controls that influence different types and levels of crime and the urban imagination. Its overall objective is to provide the criminological knowledge and conceptual tools to think critically and comparatively about crime, social order and social harm in an increasingly globalizing and polarizing world.
