Americans are more likely to be injured or killed in their own homes by someone they know than anywhere else by anyone else. The first half of this course will try to make sense of why that statement is true. Following Michelle Obama and Jill Biden’s recent highlighting of the unique situation of military families in American life, the second half of the course will specifically examine the extent to which military families are different from non-military families with regard to the prevalence of violence. This course can be applied towards either 1) the Childhood and Youth concentration or 2) the Deviance, Crime, and Social Control concentration in the sociology B.A. Please see the instructor for further information about applying this course towards a concentration.
