Legal Aspects Law Enforcement

Catalog description

Criminal justice is a continuum between individual rights and the ability of the criminal justice system to process potential criminals; nowhere is this more true than in the area of law enforcement. Legal and policy constraints attempt to blunt the conflict in this continuum. When these fail, the court system has to adjudicate criminal justice system treatment of individuals and the rights those individuals maintain under the Constitution. This course evaluates the legal aspects associated with law enforcement work.
