CRJU 0358 - Sanctioning Sexual Offenders
Credits: 3
This course will critically evaluate policies directed toward sex offenders, such as those requiring registration and notification, those that restrict where sex offenders may live, and those that allow for civil commitment of sex offenders after they have served their sentence for a sex crime. These policies will be evaluated based on current understandings of why people sexually offend, and the types of strategies that offer the most promise for a safe and healthy community. Consideration will be given to the goals of rehabilitation and reintegration, how they may be compromised, to society’s detriment, given the current strong emphasis on the competing goals of retribution, deterrence, and incapacitation in dealing with sexual offenders in particular.
Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing.
