Course summary
This free course, Race, ethnicity and crime,
briefly examines the relationships between race
and ethnicity, and crime, criminalisation and
criminal justice. It considers the relationship
between crime and cultural difference; the notion
of 'criminalisation' and how its processes affect
individuals and their opportunities; and the lived
consequences of racialisation. Specifically, you
will examine the ways in which these
criminalisations which lead to the over-policing,
over-incarceration and under-protection of
particular populations lie at the heart of critical
criminological arguments.
Learning outcomes
By completing this course, the learner should be
able to:
explain why the concept of criminalisation is
valuable for understanding race–crime debates
describe the problem of disproportionality in
relation to the criminal justice system
provide examples of some of the ways in which
critical criminology has conceptually
approached and researched ‘race’ and
ethnicity.
