Course
Description:
This course introduces
students to the fundamental foundations and structures
of the criminal justice system in the United States.
The rules of criminal procedure at the federal and state
level will be analyzed in relationship to the three
levels of the American criminal justice system:
-
the police
-
the courts
-
corrections
Using crime statistics
and court system analysis, the components of the
criminal justice system will be studied. Students
will gain an overall understanding of the structure and
practice of our somewhat imperfect system. |
