Criminology 403
"The Couch to 5k of Criminology"
Criminology 403 is the core criminology theory module within the Masters program in the Law School at Lancaster University. This podcast will reflect on the theories discussed and the activities completed during the two-hour weekly workshop. Over the course of ten weeks, we will consider theories and core concepts in contemporary criminology. Including green, feminist, critical, and activist criminology, crimes of the powerful, and decolonising criminology. Wether you are one of our enrolled students, or just curious about the way criminology examined crime, deviance, and social control, please join us for Criminology 403.

Feminist Criminology
This week we will be looking at the contribution of Feminist Criminology. The basic premise of feminist criminology is that traditional criminological perspectives are Androcentric in nature.
Androcentrism: Androcentrism is the practice, conscious or otherwise, of placing a masculine point of view at the center of one's worldview, culture, and history, thereby culturally marginalizing femininity. The related adjective is androcentric, while the practice of placing the feminine point of view at the center is gynocentric.
