CRJ 1010 - Introduction to Criminal Justice (J)
Credit(s): 3
In this course we begin to examine the human beings who are labeled criminal in America and question why they break the law. Are those violations the result of genetics, free will, social and economic forces? Is criminal behavior caused by inherent character weaknesses or the malfunction of an unequal society? We will also examine the institutions created to deal with and prevent criminal behavior: the law, the courts, the government, the police and the jails. Further, we will study the social context of crime and ask the most important question: Can we reasonably imagine the possibility of a human community without crime or criminals, a world without police, punishment or prison?
