Historically how do we define crime? From ancient civilizations to the present, humanity has suffered, defined and dealt with crimes---civil, religious and criminal. Taking a global approach to the historical development of crime and criminal law, we explore how the past continues to affect our present and why we still have crime after centuries of attempting to eradicate it --just as Hammurabi did 1792- 1750 BCE. This course and the resulting research project allow you to pursue in depth a historical topic on crime and present this analysis to your peers.

We have witnessed discrimination and hostility against East Asians in the U.S. with the start of the corona virus pandemic. We have seen hostilities against Muslim Americans in the wake of 9.11. How and why did these sentiments come about? What does it mean to be an Asian in America today? In "Asians in America," we travel back in history to examine a variety of Asian experiences in America.
