Description

The course focuses on the construction of knowledge about gender, race and ethnicity with reference to criminal justice; the legacy of colonial relations in Australia for Indigenous peoples and on criminal justice practices; and, how ideas about ethnicity and migration relate to gendered and racialised understandings of crime and within criminal justice. The approach is comparative and inter-disciplinary, drawing on a wide range of historical, socio-legal and criminological research. Topics include: media representations of crime; gendered and raced patterns in violence; global mobility, migration, trafficking; policing; punishment; and developments in restorative justice and Indigenous justice.

The course is an elective within the Master of Criminal Justice and Criminology degree and provides a good grounding for further studies, and for practice, in criminal law, criminology and criminal justice.
