Twenty-eight students participated in Criminal Justice Assistant Professor Catresa Meyers' Criminal Behavior summer course in Rome. The course explored criminal behavior in a country many view as the birthplace of criminology. Among the experiences students had was the opportunity to visit Cripta Cappuccini to further the discussion on deviancy. Next, the class explored the influences of positivist theory as part of their visit to The Jewish Museum. Finally, the group was treated to a memorable tour of the Colosseum, to understand the life of the gladiator and compare it modern-day sports violence.
