"In the event that the student intends to take the exam in a year prior to the year scheduled in the study plan, it is recommended that he/she attends the cycle of lectures and takes the exam in the first useful call after the lectures have ended, thus respecting the semester of the teaching schedule". - Learning verification modality
- The test will consist of an oral examination to assess:
- the understanding and knowledge of criminological theories, the ability to be able to place them historically and to explain the methods used;
- the ability to critically analyse the issues addressed from a scientific, ethical and social point of view;
- the ability to use sociological and criminological language in relation to the phenomena under investigation. - Extended program
- In the first part, criminological theories are examined, with a particular focus on those from the sociological field and with a special insight into the question of the 'government of fear'. At first, in an extended and analytical manner, the course deals with the origins and developments of criminology as a science (from an epistemological, methodological and phenomenological point of view).
In the second part, the perspective of radical symbolic interactionism (in the declination of Lonnie Athens, Adolfo Ceretti and Lorenzo Natali) will be considered in order to analyse the process by which one becomes a criminal and engages in violent behaviour. Particular attention will be paid to the 'Albertani case'.
In the third part, the basic elements of the sociology of prison and restorative justice will be provided.
