Alcohol,Drugs&Crime
Description:
This course focuses on the multi-faceted associations among alcohol, drug use, and crime in America. It distinguishes legal and policy issues from competing paradigms and contrasts criminal justice and public health models. State- of-the-art etiology, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment studies correlating criminality and substance misuse are assessed and evaluated in historical and sociocultural contexts.
The course highlights social service systems in relation to current practices and institutionalized definitions of health and illness, crime and criminals.
