在近年臺灣社會，隨著科技進步與工商發展，整體生活水準顯著提升，犯罪卻並未同步下降，反而呈現類型多元化、暴力化與年輕化等複雜趨勢。從毒品、網路詐欺、家庭暴力，到仇恨言論與社群煽動，犯罪現象不僅是個人道德或心理問題，更牽涉階級結構、勞動條件、空間排除、媒體再現與治安政策等多重因素。若只停留在「壞人做壞事」或單純道德譴責的層次，難以理解犯罪在當代社會為何持續出現、甚至再製不平等。
在犯罪學的發展歷程中，古典學派著重自由意志與理性選擇，實證學派則從生理與心理特質尋找犯罪原因；然而，這些以個體為核心的解釋，愈來愈難以回應當代社會中結構性失業、社會排除、都市貧窮與國家暴力等議題。犯罪社會學正是在這樣的問題意識下發展出來，強調必須從「個人—社會—制度」的連結來理解犯罪，把犯罪視為一種與社會結構、權力關係與控制機制密切交織的社會現象。
本課程即立基於犯罪社會學的視角，一方面介紹偏差與犯罪的基本概念、理論與研究傳統，另一方面透過具體案例，引導學生思考：誰被貼上「犯罪者」標籤？誰有能力定義「犯罪」？刑事司法與治安政策如何反映並再製社會中的階級與族群不平等？在素養導向教學的架構下，本課程強調的不僅是「知道理論」，更是培養學生能理解、能分析、能行動與能反思的綜合能力。

In Taiwanese society in recent years, with the advancement of science and technology and the development of industry and commerce, the overall living standard has improved significantly. However, crime has not declined simultaneously. Instead, it has shown complex trends such as diversification, violence and youth. From drugs, online fraud, domestic violence, to hate speech and community incitement, criminal phenomena are not only personal moral or psychological issues, but also involve multiple factors such as class structure, labor conditions, spatial exclusion, media representation, and security policies. If we only stay at the level of "bad people do bad things" or simple moral condemnation, it will be difficult to understand why crime continues to appear and even reproduce inequality in contemporary society.
In the development of criminology, the classical school focused on free will and rational choice, while the positivist school looked for the causes of crime from physiological and psychological traits; however, these individual-centered explanations are increasingly difficult to respond to issues such as structural unemployment, social exclusion, urban poverty, and state violence in contemporary society. The sociology of crime was developed under the awareness of such problems, emphasizing that crime must be understood from the connection of "individual-society-institution" and viewing crime as a social phenomenon closely intertwined with social structure, power relations and control mechanisms.
This course is immediately based on the perspective of the sociology of crime. On the one hand, it introduces the basic concepts, theories and research traditions of deviation and crime. On the other hand, through specific cases, it guides students to think: Who is labeled as a "criminal"? Who has the power to define "crime"? How do criminal justice and policing policies reflect and reproduce class and ethnic inequalities in society? Under the framework of literacy-oriented teaching, this course emphasizes not only "knowing the theory", but also cultivating students' comprehensive abilities to understand, analyze, act and reflect.
