Race, Crime, and Justice

Catalog description

This course is designed to examine the complex inter-relationships between race, crime and the criminal justice system along with an overview of the contemporary response to race and crime in the United States. The study of race and crime must be grounded in a critical, reflexive framework that allows for—and encourages—rigorous debate, particularly about social inequality, its origins, and its consequences. Upon completing this course, students should have a clear understanding of the role that race and ethnicity play within the criminal justice system.
