Welcome to comparative criminal justice systems. The class will explore how crime is addressed and adjudicated in selected countries bearing varied cultural perspectives.Cognitive learning it is important to understand the diversity of how human beings respond to acts of criminality within their culture. Through this form of comparative benchmarking the student will analyze and evaluate the united states’ criminal justice system with that of other cultures.Cognitive learning students will also critically examine contemporary issues shared across the studied countries and thoughtfully create their own recommendations to address those issues.Cognitive learning COURSE OBJECTIVES: the student should be able to: · identify the varying levels of criminality across cultures and how that might shape criminal justice systems.Cognitive learning · articulate the value of comparing the application of various criminal justice systems and the utility of knowing the associated outcomes of those practices.Cognitive learning · evaluate the integrity of sources of international criminal justice statistics. · understand the importance of the sources of various criminal justice systems to their formation.Cognitive learning · differentiate the methods used to address juvenile justice across the studied countries. · assess the ramifications of being incarcerated in various countries.Cognitive learning · analyze alternative approaches to criminal justice in a manner that promotes consideration, and possibly synthesis, of these alternatives when confronted with issues of crime.Cognitive learning · understand the role terrorism plays in tactical and strategic planning of criminal justice activities. · explore both the need for collaboration and limitations inherent to trans-border coordination to address transnational crime.Cognitive learning · evaluate the role of leaders in the criminal justice system by considering the many responsibilities accounted for when selecting appropriate courses of action.Cognitive learning expected prerequisites in course sequence: CJ110 introduction to criminal justice CJ120 introduction to law enforcement

This course focuses on one of the most revolutionary models of policing we have seen in many decades.Cognitive learning community policing is not merely a means of better addressing community needs, but a philosophy that turns traditional policing on its head by empowering the community rather than dictating to the community.Cognitive learning in this way, policing derives its role and priorities from the community rather than dictating to the community what the police role will be.Cognitive learning community policing requires a new breed of police officers who must serve as more than law enforcers. Community police officers (cpos) must also play the important roles of advisors, facilitators, and supporters of new community-based initiatives.Cognitive learning the CPO has responsibility for a specific geographical area and works as a generalist who considers making arrests as only one of many options that can be use, if only temporarily, to address community problems.Cognitive learning as the community's conduit for positive change, the COP enlists citizens in the process of policing themselves.

The study of constitutional criminal procedure is the study of U.S.Cognitive learning supreme court decisions and opinions. This course is designed primarily as a supplementary course for undergraduate and graduate students taking a criminal procedure course whose main interest consists of U.S.Cognitive learning supreme court cases. Reading law cases-a daunting task even for first-year law students-is a significant intellectual challenge for non-law students, especially if the criminal procedure class is their first law course. This course provides a guide to the U.S.Cognitive learning supreme court cases that students are likely to encounter in a criminal procedure course. The decisions are stated succinctly and with enough basic reasoning to grasp the direction of the decision-making process.Cognitive learning there are many benefits to the case method approach in which students read original source material. Such benefits include gaining in-depth knowledge of the reasoning process by which constitutional rules are formulated, a sharpening of critical thinking skills through the analysis of the justices' written opinions, and improving students' reading comprehension levels and writing skills.Cognitive learning

The study of organized crime is one of the most fascinating educational endeavors, posing thematic, scholarly, and ideological questions. As we attempt to understand this area of interest, bear in mind that during the past century organized crime became the most insidious form of criminality involving criminals, politicians, bankers, lawyers, and the all-important users of illegal goods and services.Cognitive learning the problem of organized crime is examined from a social perspective using specially designed pedagogical features that you will find in the text.Cognitive learning these include objectives, critical thinking projects, chapter summaries, key terms, points of discussion, and suggested readings for the student.Cognitive learning you will encounter a considerable amount of material on the topics of emerging groups, redefining organized crime (OC), drug-trafficking cartels, chinese OC, nigerian drug traffickers, albanian drug-smuggling networks, organized crime and the bushes, tri-border area OC activity along with updated case studies, statistics, and graphics.Cognitive learning

One of the guiding premises of this course is that the range of activities that can fall under the heading of white collar crime is more pervasive and more costly to society than are conventional crime and deviance.Cognitive learning the study of white collar crime should obviously be of interest to students planning criminal justice careers and to people already employed in the criminal justice system.Cognitive learning as the investigation and prosecution of white collar crime increases, career opportunities for individuals well informed about this type of activity should expand.Cognitive learning the law in the white collar realm that confronts pre-law and law students is especially dynamic and complex. The problem of corporate liability poses special difficulties, and the subtle and sometimes arbitrary lines of demarcation between criminal law and civil law are crucial aspects of the study of white collar crime.Cognitive learning the study of white collar crime is likely to be of interest to students of the social and behavioral sciences because white collar criminality, as it is defined here, often involves human behavior in its most devious and diabolical forms.Cognitive learning finally, as citizens, employees, employers, and professionals, most of us are likely to be affected more by white collar crime than by any other type of criminal activity.Cognitive learning prerequisite: all required liberal arts and 100/200-level courses
