Through the study of organized crime, white-collar crime, state and corporate crime, corruption and financial crime, and digital and environmental harms, students will critically analyze how power-dynamics shapes the definition and enforcement of law. Emphasizing contemporary case studies, the course explores why many of the most harmful acts remain normalized, under-regulated, or beyond the reach of justice. This course counts for elective credit towards the Criminology, Law, and Society Minor.
