Crime, Property Crime: What is it and How Much is There?

$15

with Kathy Johnson

Calendar Sep 21, 2023 at 1 pm, runs for 8 weeks

Course Description: Do we have a crime problem in America? Do we have a property crime problem in America? Wait, what is this property crime thing you mention? Well, one thing it is not is violent. It rarely makes the headlines and it may not even have a human victim! We'll talk about property crimes (what they are and are not) and how they are punished, or not. We'll talk about why it works that way. "But we don't talk about Bruno." If this is your first time in this class and if all goes well, you will leave class more bewildered, bemused, and befuddled than when you started, or not!
