CJS 300: COMPARATIVE CRIM JUSTICE SYSTEMS

In the United States an old TV character used to say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.” But is the criminal system that clear cut? And does that same attitude exist around the globe? During this course we’ll examine the criminal justice systems from two different countries from start to finish – cops, courts, and corrections and see how they are similar and where the key differences are. This semester we will focus on the systems of the United States and Great Britain.
