ICJ 702 Comparative CRJ Systems
30 HOURS LECTURE PLUS CONFERENCES
This course will use as a baseline the CRJ system of the United States, and initial lectures will provide an overview of our system as a basis for comparison. Afterwards, beginning with a contextualization of world cultures, legal families and systems of government, this course will study the commonalities and variations in CRJ systems around the world, including law enforcement, adjudication and post-sentencing measures. Special attention will be paid to the impact of the growth of private security, victim assistance and corruption. Examples are drawn from a variety of political systems.
