NEW COURSE DESCRIPTION: Hell and Damnation: Apocalypse Criminology, Crim 3903
"We live in a time of crisis, exacerbated and made intractable by social, economic, and political problems, all with effects on personal liberty and social control. These include economic mass migration due to famine; globalization and the movement of capital to offshore zones; the plutocratic greed of the one percent, the fading of the middle class and a growing precariat; refugees of climate change brought on by fossil fuel, toxic colonialism and environmental racism; terrorism and counter-terrorism; political civil unrest and its suppression by an expanding surveillance state; activism of the dispossessed, and cyber counter-activism; the effect of living in stranger-economies; and pandemics and the effect of disinformation. These and other portents are part of a gathering storm of global crisis and discontent with profound implications for both the practice and the study of deviance and criminal justice."s
