CRIM 305 Intersections of Injustices: Race, Gender and Crime

This course examines the relationship between marginalized groups and the criminal legal system. Students will analyze how unequal power relations are created and sustained through the operations of the police, courts, social services, and correctional system both within Canada and internationally. Of particular concern is how crime and the justice system further marginalize minority groups, including those with statuses associated with gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, citizenship, and religion.
