Subject:

Description:

Focuses first upon the 'traditional' processes by which behaviors are defined as illegal; citizens' behavior is monitored to enforce the definitions; the official labels are applied to specific individuals; and perpetrators of the labeled behaviors are responded to. A 'critical' approach then extends the analysis to issues of political manipulations and corruption in the legislative, adjudicative, and enforcement processes, as well as the counterproductive nature of the U.S. corrections system.
