PLEASE TAKE HIM!!! He is a new professor who I took this quarter and many people adored him. He's been so understanding towards us even reducing word counts or lengths of assignments, and you can tell he's really passionate about teaching crime and caring for all students. He's chill, dope, silly, and so compassionate. His workload isn't too heavy. It's reading chapters every week (which you can get away from reading if you follow his powerpoints & Textbooks are cheap, not bad sometimes he provides pdfs), 1 measurement paper also fairly easy, 2 reflection papers, 1 proposal for final, and Final (which is a literature review). I had Shiva as a TA I recommend her she's so kind and sweet. Overall I would recommend him and take any other classes with him because he is so the sweetest professor you can take here. I got an A in most of my assignments except a B in one, but passed with a 94%.
