COURSE DETAIL
This course introduces the core aspects of the criminal justice system, including criminology (the study of the causes of crime), policing, law enforcement, criminal investigation, decisions regarding arrest and detention, prosecution, trial, criminal justice policy, due process and human rights protection, and victimology. It is designed for undergraduate students and is taught using a case-method-like approach, incorporating commonly encountered real-life cases to help students better understand the entire criminal justice system at the undergraduate level. This course is suitable for undergraduate students who are exploring career paths in the police, courts, or prosecution, or those preparing for admission to law school. The goal of this course is to examine the meaning and justification of the concept of crime and its legal effect(punishment); to encourage students to think about the process and meaning of criminal justice and what is needed for a fair criminal justice system; and to help students to formulate their own standards for what punishment is appropriate for a crime through individual cases.
