Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite

Examines how science and technology have altered the terrain of criminal justice and criminology. It focuses not only on the ways in which criminology has been constructed as a science, but also the ways in which technology has created new crimes, new forms of identity (e.g. data doubles), and new spaces that need to be policed (e.g. cyberspace). Topics include fingerprinting, DNA testing, biometrics, surveillance technologies, the regulation of mobilities, the use of robots, and cybercrime. Prerequisites: AP/SOSC 1650 6.00 or AP/CRIM 1650 6.00 or AP/SOSC 1650 9.00 or AP/CRIM 1650 9.00 (or equivalent) with a grade of at least B.
