This unit introduces students to the comparative study of criminology. Comparative criminology involves the study of crime and social control across different cultural contexts. This unit studies the production of criminological knowledge across cultures as well as its meaning and measurement. It examines a range of cross national data sets and measures of crime and social control. The focus will include comparison of European approaches to crime and social control with other regions of the world including Australia, Asia and the Americas. -- Course Website
