CJS 514 - Race and Gender in the Criminal Justice System


Delivery: Lecture
The purpose of this course is to extend our knowledge about crime and the justice process as it specifically relates to issues of gender and race.  There are many perceptions, some true some not, of women and various racial groups in terms of crimes committed, patterns of victimization, and overall treatment within the criminal justice system.  Through course readings and discussions, students should gain a greater understanding of the issues and variations with gender and race and how each influences criminal behavior and victimization rates as well as be able to identify strategies to address related issues.
