CJ 520 - Contemporary Issues in Criminology

Credits: 3

This course will rotate topics that are relevant at the time. Topics will range from advocacy groups, death penalty, wrongful convictions, social justice issues, and criminal justice reform. We will discuss a range of issues within each topic. Community policing is the first topic. We will examine the roles of recruiting, leadership, and training as they apply to community policing. Community policing is an important issue given the problems that law enforcement offices face in many communities. This course will explore the various approaches that have been employed combined with the problems associated with success and/or failure.
