CRIM 260 - Race and Justice

This course examines how race, ethnicity, gender and class play a role in the treatment an individual receives while “participating” in the U.S. society and the justice system. It explores several topic areas including arrest, sentencing, and corrections. In addition, students are introduced to Critical Race Theory (CRT), a theory which challenges the ways in which race and racial power are constructed in U.S. society. Issues including affirmative action, property rights, and the social construction of race are discussed.
