Session Submission Summary

Rutgers at 50: Theoretical Contributions to Criminology

Wed, Nov 13, 9:30 to 10:50am, Foothill E - 2nd Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel focuses on the theoretical contributions of Rutgers School of Criminal Justice scholars. Students, alumni, and faculty will look at broader theories in crime and justice like Routine Activities, Rational Choice, Broken Windows, and Just Deserts. Panelists will also discuss their own recent and ongoing theoretically relevant work on topics such moral foundations of offending and punitiveness and the dynamics of peer influences on delinquency and crime. Within this context the discussants will consider future directions in better understanding, preventing, and responding to crime—and Rutgers’ place in that future.
