    Overview

    The criminal justice system is made up of many distinct segments, each playing a critical role in the ultimate goal of deterring crime and controlling criminal behavior. The system is continually evolving based on societal needs, advancing technology, and the changing landscape of criminal acts.

    Topics will include criminology and criminal behavior, forensic investigations, civil and criminal trials, evidence admissibility, and current issues and impacts of the system on society and criminal justice policies and procedures. We will explore major constitutional issues in the administration of criminal justice and examine how race pervades those issues. In what ways, for example, do mass incarceration and prison crowding, which disproportionately affect people of color, violate inmates’ constitutional rights against cruel and inhuman punishment? In addition to the introduction of theoretical concepts, the course will feature case studies based on current events to facilitate group discussions and enable critical thinking. Upon completion of this course, you will have a deeper understanding of the US criminal justice system; criminal investigation; anthropological, biological, sociological, and psychological theories of criminal behavior; the process of criminal investigation, including crime scene investigation, death investigation, evidence analysis, and reconstruction of events; and US courts, legal concepts, corrections, and rehabilitation.
