aw, Crime, & Social

Justice in Sociology at

We would like to encourage you and your stu-

dents to consider our undergraduate B.A./B.S.

applied sociology programs with an emphasis

on Law, Crime, and Social Justice, and our graduate programs (M.S. and Ph.D.)

with the Criminology and Deviance concentration at Oklahoma State University.

With recent addition of new faculty, we hope to grow our program with bright

and promising students!

Crime and deviance has always been a leading field in sociology, and many

classical sociological theories (such as learning theory, social disorganization

theory, control theory, subculture theory) have made significant breakthroughs

and progress because of studies in crime, deviance, and juvenile delinquency.

We are also very glad to expand and extend our inquiries to include broader

contemporary social justice issues and focus on key factors (such as race, gen-

der, and social class) not only relevant to the US society but also to other na-

tions in an increasingly globalized world. This is indeed a very exciting but chal-

lenging field, and we’d like to embrace this change with interested students to-

gether at OSU!

For potential undergraduate students who’d like to consider the applied de-

grees with an emphasis on Law, Crime, and Social Justice, please feel free to

contact Dahlia Molloy (undergraduate academic counselor) or Dr. Michael Long

(Chair of the Crime & Deviance concentration) for more information.

For potential graduate students who’d like to consider our M.S. or Ph.D. pro-

gram with the concentration on Crime

and Deviance, please feel free to con-

tact Dr. Andrew Fullerton (Director of

Graduate Program) or Dr. Michael

Long (Chair of the Crime & Deviance

concentration) for more information.
