“We are all affected by crime, even if we are not directly victimized,” says Associate Professor Rachel Durso, chair of the sociology department and director of the justice, law and society minor. “We make decisions about the areas we travel to, where we live, and where we shop or hang out based on our perceptions regarding our likelihood to be a crime victim.” The impact and discussion of crime can be felt across many departments within the liberal arts—and at Washington College.
