SOC 203Marriage and the Family
This course will focus on family with a historical and cross-cultural approach to understanding its diverse forms and the functions that families serve for individuals and society as a whole. Using theoretical perspectives and research methods specific to sociology, we examine patterns surrounding mate selection, socialization, marriage, parenting, divorce and remarriage, as well as dysfunctions in the family (e.g., domestic violence).

SOC 205Criminology
This course offers a sociological approach to the study of crime and the criminal justice system as we examine the social and institutional forces that influence criminal behavior and its punishment. We examine the social construction of deviance and social control as their meanings and methods evolve over time and differ across cultures. We use empirical and theoretical approaches to analyze crime rates, the origins of criminal behavior, public perceptions of crime and criminals, and inequalities in the prosecution of criminal behavior as it relates to gender, race, and social class. Specific topics may include: the war on drugs, terrorism, profiling, restorative justice, and reintegration into society after prison. Note: Fulfills SUNY-GE Social Sciences. Prerequisite: SOC101. Offered on: A-E- G / 3 cr. hrs.
