CJ 300 Race, Crime and Justice

This course examines historical and contemporary criminological theories and research on nexus between race and crime. In addition, this course will also provide an overview of the contemporary responses to race and crime in the United States as well as abroad. To understand the connection between race and crime, this course will draw on both scholarly research and popular culture to develop a critical understanding of social inequality with respect to minority involvement in the criminal justice system.
