CJC 333 Policing in Free and Diverse Society
This course examines issues and developing trends confronting the police institution in the United States and its interaction with the American public, particularly diverse and marginalized groups. Emphasis is placed on the historic development of the police institution as it relates to society and group identity (e.g. socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, gender, housing and immigration status, etc.). The course also explains how this history informs the present-day issues facing the police in US society and delivery of public safety.
Prerequisite: CJC 101 and CJC 102 and CJC 230 or permission from the department chairperson.
