CJ 470B ST: Examing "Breaking Bad" Through theýLens of Crime and Deviance
Lectures, readings, and varied assignments will help students develop a deeper and more accurate understanding of theory and research in deviance and criminology. The Breaking Bad television series serves as "data" for the course. Students will view the show's episodes and use theories, concepts, and research findings learned in the course to analyze the messages about crime, as well as to assess the characters' actions and the effectiveness of the criminal justice responses and crime policies depicted in the series.
