    Description
    An introductory course about the criminal justice system. Topics include the operation of the criminal justice system, the roles of criminal justice agents in the system and their relationship with the general public; concepts of crime causation, punishment and rehabilitation; ethics; and education for workers in the criminal justice system. Although the justice structure and process is examined in a cross cultural context, emphasis is placed on the US justice system, particularly the structure and function of US police, courts, and corrections.
