CJ463 - Sense and Nonsense

This course will focus on important and emerging crime related issues and problems that ordinarily receive insufficient attention by policy makers, government officials, media sources and sometimes leaders within the criminal justice system.  This course is designed to provoke thought and challenge perspectives by helping students become more sophisticated consumers of crime and justice knowledge.  More specifically, this course will look at various crime prevention strategies, policies and criminal justice practices that may impact our overall pursuit of a safer society.
