SOCL 215 - THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

Hours: 5
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the commplex realities of the modern American criminal justice system. The course focuses on similarities among the wide variety of local, state, and federal justice systems, and tries to illustrate some of the differences, paying special attention to the role of class and race in the operations of these systems. We will use recent cases, readings, discussions, and direct experience to help us in this. Some outside-of-class experiences will be required.
