We’ll still be online for winter quarter, but I’m teaching some great classes. If you’re a Drexel student and have any questions please get in touch!
CJS 101 Introduction to Criminal Justice
This course provides a survey of the criminal justice system with the primary goal of conveying an understanding of America’s formal response to crime. We confront the long-standing struggle to balance due process with crime control through the lenses of the police, courts and corrections — the core elements of the Criminal Justice system. We also examine major crime control paradigms (historic and current), and the tenuous relationship between race and justice. The course offers a variety of educational approaches in an effort to match (as much as is reasonable) students’ individual learning styles and needs.

CJS 266 Crime Prevention Planning
The course will explore the role of places and environments on criminal opportunities. By analyzing residential and business layouts, street networks, and routine activities of individuals, the course will seek ways in which situational crime prevention methods may then be applied for preventing criminal behavior in both the public and private settings.

CJS 302 Advanced Criminological Theorizing
This course offers a detailed examination of several major theories of crime. Whereas CJS200/CJ204-Criminology represents a survey of many criminological theories, this advanced course focuses on three major perspectives in criminology: Life-course, genetics/bio-social, social disorganization (and specifically, subculture of violence) theories. The course also helps students understand how different criminological theories might integrate with each other to offer broad perspectives the causes of crime.

Frequently I get great recommendations for books and articles from students. I wanted to start posting them here in case others are interested. When I have a chance to read them I’ll share my thoughts. Feel free to add your own comments.

Drexel University, like all the others, has gone completely online for the rest of the academic year. Even though that’s the case I’m excited that we’ll be able to meet face to face via ZOOM for some of our scheduled sessions. I’m teaching the following:
CJS 273 – Surveillance, Technology, and Law
CJS 380 – Crime Prediction Ethics
