CJBA 130 Evidence of Things Not Seen: Quantitative Reasoning in Criminal Justice
3 hours
This course uses open data and accessible techniques to deeply explore current criminal justice issues as they take shape and require responses from experts, policy makers, politicians, and citizens. The course explores how individuals and organizations understand criminal justice issues, shape responses, solutions, and the demands for reform and social justice. The underlying source of an issue is sometimes hidden or unseen, often, assumptions prevent accurate understanding and responses. This course uses foundational techniques in analysis where students will combine the power of numbers, the might of the pen, and the importance of logic to understand and identify the origin and potential solutions to issues in criminal justice.
