Updating Crime & Deviance

Day Workshop with renowned sociologist and film-maker, Dr Steve Taylor

Strain, Labelling, Realism etc. are still important because they underpin a lot of research in the contemporary study of Crime and Deviance. But supposing your students could demonstrate this with new concepts & 21st. Century research examples?

This Workshop consolidates the key theories and concepts and then illustrates their application with clear, easy to understand up to date research.  For example, students read about moral panics, but how much more impressive could an answer be if they were able to bring in the recent concept of ‘amoral panics’?

Content: 

  • Crime, Deviance, Order and Control: clarifying sociological approaches.
  • Globalisation & Crime: filling the gaps by linking to familiar sociological approaches
  • Researching Crime: methods clarified, evaluated & illustrated with new ideas & interactive Q & A practice.
  • Theory & Method: this challenging topic laid bare, simplified and illustrated.

Free Crime and Deviance films provided!

Additional Sessions on Family, Youth Culture & Research Methods, if required.
