Institutional Learning Outcomes: Knowledge, Intercultural Awareness Based on a law and society approach, this course engages students with a British North American and Canadian cultural history centered on the meanings of crime, disorder, policing, and punishment. Emphasizing the 19th to 21st century in what became Canada, students explore the English origins as well as the British North American adaptations of emergent Canadian approaches and challenges within the criminal justice system. Themes include the relationship between First Nations' laws and the Anglo-Canadian legal order, aspects of crime history and colonialism, the influences of class, ethnicity and gender in Canadian crime history and the evolution of increasingly pluralistic notions of how society might respond to disorder and criminality.
