CRJU 0327 - Race and Ethnicity in the Criminal Justice System
Credits: 3
An examination of the issues of race and ethnicity which continue to affect all aspects of criminal justice in America. Whether as offenders, victims, or as persons working (or seeking to work) within “the system,” African Americans, Hispanics, and other minorities are treated differently than non-minorities. This course explores the core concepts of race and ethnicity as they have developed in our culture, and examines racism, discrimination, and disparities in key institutions of the criminal justice system. The affects of these issues on communities of color and potential remedies for them are also discussed.
Prerequisites: CRJU 0101 and Junior standing.
