CJUS 1511 - Local Social Science: Foundations of Criminal Justice


This Local Theme course uses the methods and insights of the social sciences to explore the central question of what it means to be a member of a “local” community. Through the study of the experiences of different peoples, cultures, and communities in our city, our region, or our nation students will be able to better understand the complexity and diversity of the society in which we live. Students are introduced to the major components of the American criminal justice system at the local, state and federal levels. Contemporary issues within the criminal justice system are discussed, including the over-representation of different demographic groups under criminal justice supervision. May not be taken for credit and for a grade if credit has been received for CJUS 1100 .
