SOCI 201(, Hours: 3)3
Crime and Justice in Urban Society This course presents an array of urban environments in which to study contemporary criminal justice issues. While various cities will be examined for their special characteristics and contributions, New York City will be the primary focus. As the first urban community in the nation to use Quality of Life/ “Broken Windows” strategies of policing, New York City continues to lead the nation’s drop in violent crime. Furthermore, the city has the world’s largest police force (NYPD) and the country’s 2nd largest jailing complex (Rikers Island). Students will be exposed to America’s first “problem-solving court,” the Midtown Community Court, and its numerous spin offs—the Harlem Reentry Court, Red Hook Community Justice Center, Bronx Community Solutions, and the Brooklyn Mental Health Court. In short, New York City offers students the richest urban environment to explore the challenges and opportunities of the nation’s foremost criminal justice administration.

SOCI 214(, Hours: 3)3
Social Determinants of Health This course provides an overview of the unnatural causes of ill health and situates community health work and work in human services within that multi-causal and contextual framework. While there are individual, physiological, biological and manual sources of ill health, almost all of ill health is associated with the quality of life of the individual and the accumulation of risks they encounter over a lifetime. The course will be organized around four themes (informed by a 2008 PBS video, Unnatural Causes): Good Beginnings; Sustainable Future; Adequate Care; and Ongoing Support. It will highlight the World Health Organization defined Social Determinants of Health. Students will be oriented to understand disease and health as multi-faceted conditions and to understand the levels of risk and support for the individual and for populations. Course activities include analysis of social determinants of health, identification of determinants for specific diseases, interpretation, and research on programs of intervention, partnerships, and/or service appropri2ate to the social determinants.
