| CRJ 100 - Introduction to Criminal Justice |
|
This course is an introductory exploration of the modern U.S. criminal legal system, its philosophical foundations, history, and processes. This course draws on a close study of the U.S. Constitution, case law, and contemporary examples to analyze, interrogate, and critique the criminal legal system intersectionally, with attention to issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Participants will explore the meanings of, and relationships between, crime, justice, policing, prosecution, the courts, corrections, and systems of incarceration. Students in CRJ 100 will develop close reading, critical thinking, quantitative, analytical, research, and writing skills. Prerequisite: Eligibility for ENG 095
