CRJ 100 - Law and Order

Every society has both formal and informal means of requiring people to follow its rules. This course examines the criminal justice system and other mechanisms we rely on in the United States to discourage people from engaging in socially unacceptable behavior. Current events and related topics will be used to explore the role and impact of public attitudes, political forces and social institutions on maintaining order in a diverse society. In dealing with this material, students will use analytical and creative thinking strategies, and sharpen their skills in reasoning, problem solving and factual analysis.

Corequisite(s): ENG 071 and/or ENG 055
