This course will look at the ways policing and surveillance shape our social lives. While the two topics overlap, they are not identical, and this course will examine them both separately and together. Topics covered will include procedural justice, the role of trust in police-citizen interactions, police discretion, privacy and place, social media, and corporate surveillance.
Eligibility will be removed Wednesday, November 16.
Permission is required for interchange registration during all registration periods.
