    Forensic anthropology is the application of the techniques of biological anthropology to human skeletal remains of forensic significance. In this course we delve deeper into the methods used in forensic anthropology, and the biological, historical, and methodological theory behind their development. Students will gain practical hands-on experience working with human skeletal materials through analysis and present their findings. Topics may vary but include the history of forensic anthropology as a discipline, forensic search and recovery, taphonomy, and further estimation of age, sex, stature, and ancestry from skeletal remains.

  • CJ 461 Youth Immigration and Crime


    This course will provide an overview of sociological and criminological theories that either support or reject a link between criminality and immigration, especially as it relates to different generation of immigrants and their children. More importantly, it will provide an in depth overview of empirical evidence to assess this claim. The wealth of available evidence suggests that, although there are generational differences among immigrant groups, the link between immigration and crime is little more than a persistent myth and that the children of immigrants are actually less crime prone than their native counterparts.
