Module: Society and Justice


Lecture 1 – Introduction to Society and Justice


There are interconnections between sociology and criminology. It’s important for
sociologists to understand how criminologists approach things.


Overview of the Module
 This module takes an interdisciplinary approach in the issue of justice in
society
 Justice is the main theme
 To think about how to bring about greater justice to society
 Enable you to think about the quest for justice in gender, class, race/ethnicity
 Look at how criminology highlights the injustice that exists


Structure of the module
 Exploring 3 topics: gender, class, race/ethnicity
 Explore the quest for justice in them through sociology and criminology


Learning Outcomes
 To understand why the quest for justice is so important to criminologists and
sociologists and why it’s important to general society (us).

 There is no single agreement of what a just society should look like e.g.
agreements are divided on how much income tax people should pay. Is it
fairer to tax someone higher who inherited money from their family or
someone who is earning more money through their job? A lot of the wealth
that people inherit is based on the level of advantage that they have – their
family are upper/middle class.

 Example: There is still compensation being paid out for the abolishment of
slavery.

 To understand how justice is conceptualised

 Criminology was a sub-discipline of sociology

 To be a well-rounded sociologist, you need an understanding of criminology.
