CJ 275 Comparative Criminal Justice Systems

This course is structured around comparisons of how crime and punishment are dealt with in other cultures and nations. The goal is to provide insight into other cultures, help illuminate underlying aspects of geopolitical conflict, and place the U.S. criminal justice system in sharper relief. Comparisons are drawn on what constitutes a crime, the judicial processes for determining guilt, and theories and practices of punishment.
