SOC 2408 - Gender, Violence, and CrimeCredits: 4 Why are so many mass shooters and serial killers men? Why are men over represented in our prison systems both as inmates and law enforcement? What happens when women commit violent crimes? These are some of the questions we explore in this course on the gendered nature of criminal behavior. We will explore how our gender socialization shapes our tendency to profile people who engage in deviant and criminal acts as well as their victims. Major units include: mass shootings, serial killing, sexual assault, domestic violence, gang violence, and illicit drug use. Prerequisite(s) SOC-1103 or SOC-1104 or FYS-1104 McDaniel Plan: Multicultural
