  1. COURSE CONTENT
Description

The course is a continuation of the compulsory course “Crime Policy and Globalization” which is given in the 6th semester. For this reason, it is suggested to choose this lesson in the 7th semester. The course focus on issues that traditional criminal and criminological theory had “degraded” for many decades, as well as the respective fields of crime policy in international and national level. Main topics are organized crime, financial crime and corruption, which are considered as manifestations of the “crime of the powerful”, in the light of different theoretical approaches and typologies: “corporate”, “state”, and “state-corporate crime”, “crimes of globalization” and “organized crime”.

The course material is structured in two sections:

The first section includes the development of theoretical approaches to “serious illegality” and the more specific theories of white-collar crime, professional, corporate, state, state-organised, state- corporate crime and organized crime. This section attempts to gain an in-depth understanding of the difficulties of criminal typologies, legal provisions and investigation of the above phenomena, their social consequences, their organizational character, their relationship with power and law and their symbiotic character with legality. At the same time, through the criminological theory and its conceptual tools, the phenomena of corruption, economic and organized crime are analyzed with reference to case studies.

The second section focuses on the organization of crime policy at international and national level to address the above phenomena, with reference to legislation, prevention and repression agencies, the development of special procedures and the establishment of special law enforcement bodies. This section examines the effectiveness of the policies pursued and the function of formal social control.

  1. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes
Please describe the learning outcomes of the course: Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired after the successful completion of the course.
  • The aim of the course is for the student to acquire an awareness of the need for an anthropological approach to the contemporary education process, particular at secondary level. The course commences by establishing the basic difference, which is mainly methodological, between the sociology of education and the anthropology of education. It also establishes the contexts of the educational process today, in international terms and in terms of education in Greece today (which includes the education of migrants, minority education and adult education, among other matters) and in particular in terms of secondary education in Greece. With this established, the student is then familiarized with the institutional context offered by secondary education in Greece for the conduct of limited research programmes as part of, among others, environment education programmes, cultural programmes, health education programmes and local history programmes. Among the fundamental conceptual tools for dealing with these issues are the concepts of identity and of otherness, cognitive models and the correlation between the educational process and the concept of culture.
