CRIM 205: Canadian Criminal Justice Administration

Students will examine issues in the administration of criminal justice in Canada with regard to accountability, change, and impact. They will use theories of the state and society to analyze criminal justice events, institutions and processes, and will examine the creation of public opinion and the influence of social, political, and other groups. Students will compare the responses of the judiciary, the administration, and the legislature to the development of criminal justice policy and will consider the impact and application of scholarly research and views on policy development.
