Additional Course Details:
Topic: Natural Born Killers
This course explores possible factors that may influence young males to engage in violent crime by looking at the relative influence of nature (i.e., are they are “natural born killers?”) and nurture (i.e., are they “breaking bad?”). Because Justice Studies is a very broad and interdisciplinary field of study, this topic can be approached from many perspectives. The overarching perspective that will be adopted here comes from developmental psychology. However, other perspectives may be introduced, including legal perspectives.
