CJ 244 Gender and Justice (3)
This course studies and evaluates the treatment of women and men in the criminal justice system. Additionally, it examines the diversity of crime and victimization experiences among men and women, the conditions under which crimes are committed and enforced, the relationship of gendered experiences to issues of social inequality, and the alternatives that can be made available using a social justice framework. This course also provides a comprehensive overview of the experiences of women and men working in the three primary areas of the criminal justice system (cops, courts, and corrections).
