CJ-300: Criminology
Duration: self-paced
Credits: 4 Credits (168 Clock Hours)
Description
The first part of this course provides a framework for studying criminology, including crime and crime theory, and various forms of criminal behavior. The course then moves from such basic, yet ever controversial subjects and ranges into exciting topics including eco-terrorism, globalization, the international sex trade, cyber-crime, cultural diversity issues, and inmate re-entry into society. This course is perhaps the most comprehensive and penetrating course in the WOLI Criminal Justice curriculum. This course covers a spectrum of literally hundreds of intriguing topics. No single point of view is advocated. Rather, many diverse views that are contained within criminology and characterize its interdisciplinary nature are presented. Very contemporary cases are studied. Examples: accusations of rape against basketball star Kobe Bryant, and the conviction of Dr. Sam Waksal in the Imclone insider trading case in 2003, among many other cases. Students are challenged on every front to confront the gripping issues facing criminal justice professionals in the 21st century.
