Task Force on Sociology and Criminology Programs
Working with members of the American Society of Criminology (ASC), this Task Force is charged with developing model curricula and sample course content for courses in criminology taught in sociology departments; the curricula and courses will cover the BA, MA, and PhD levels. The resulting report will provide guiding principles and recommendations, as well as illustrations (“promising practices”) for how departments of various types offer strong criminology programs within sociology departments. The report will include, as well, information on the optimal relationships between sociology and criminology programs that are separate departments.
