CRJU 0601 - Juvenile Justice
Credits: 3
This course was developed for those in the graduate program who desire an important competency in the field of juvenile justice. Designed for criminal justice, psychology, and social work professionals who desire to work with juveniles or have had encounters with a system and its clients already in the course of their present employment. Knowledge and competency in the adult system of criminal justice does not adequately prepare on to successfully interact with juvenile clients or the various colleagues that accompany this involvement. A review of pertinent research suggests that understanding juvenile delinquency against the backdrop of sociological diversity is vital to understanding what will be needed for these clients to succeed in school and in their communities. completion of this course will equip students with an understanding of the primary theories guiding the processing of juveniles, and an understanding of the management of juveniles in multiple settings giving rise to a broader understanding of the paradigm of “treatment”.
Prerequisites: Matriculation in an appropriate program at WSU, or permission of instructor
