Special Topics, Civil Dissidence In America and the World.
Examine the the social phenomena of civil dissidence. In America and in numerous countries around the world, demonstrations and protests have erupted in major cities. As Criminologists, we will attempt to "make sense" of these forms of civil dissidence and discern the meaning behind the actions. As we try to understand the "who, what, where & why" behind the social unrest, patterns of governmental policy and the public reaction to these policies will become more clear. Are the boundaries of social tolerance being tested/stretched? Is the change that is ushered in reflective of the greater society as a whole? When does civil protest become a criminal act? Has Anarchy simply taken hold and is it attempting to destroy social order?
Your paper may focus on either the "macro or micro" view of this issue. You may look at specific incidents or concentrate on the similarities between America's protests/riots and those of other countries. Make your points clear and your comparisons accurate. (2-3 pages)
