CJ 4340 - Interrogating the Criminal Justice System through Critical and Postmodern Criminology

(3 Units)
In order to adapt to the social, political, and economic challenges associated with crime control in the 21st century (e.g.: immigration, war and terrorism, environmental disaster, poverty, white collar crime, prison overcrowding, etc.), students will be taught to advance and critically question their understanding of how practice and policies are developed and implemented.  The course will use social artifacts, such as criminological theories, empirical research, news media, cyberspace, oral histories, and anecdotal evidence to interrogate the criminal justice system through a critical lens that addresses the differential impact of criminal justice policies on race, class, gender, education, and technology.
