Equity and justice are important issues for good functioning societies. This subject explores how issues are identified as social and crime 'problems' and how such categorisation influences the search for solutions, justice and social order. You will investigate various social issues (such as economic inequality; health and substance problems; family problems; culture, race, ethnicity and marginalisation; sexuality and gender inequality; and social control) and their connection to crime and victimisation. 'Justice' is a key theme throughout the trimester and you will question how justice can be pursued, observed, and how it can fail, in our topics. The subject will be relevant to you if you are seeking a career in the criminal justice and legal system, human services (including social work) and the health care system. You will investigate examples from Australian context along with the international context for comparison.
