|
|
 Return to: Minors
Students minoring in Criminology and Justice Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt find an active and supportive department culture with a dynamic curriculum intentionally focused on analyzing systems of power from a justice studies perspective. Critical criminology challenges traditional understandings of harm and seeks to unearth the social and historical processes that constitute ‘crime’. Coursework addresses law, policy, social justice and how systems of oppression are produced and reproduced by the criminal punishment system. Courses are primarily taught through a sociological perspective, which allows students to develop critical thinking about systems-structures and research skills.
