CJU 408 - Rural Criminal Justice Issues

Credit Hour(s): 3
This course will provide students with the opportunity to critically examine the criminal justice system within a rural context. Much of the literature and analysis of the criminal justice system, that our students are exposed, is developed from the urban experience. Subsequently the rural criminal justice experience often goes unnoticed and unexamined. Students who are interested in criminal justice will benefit from this examination of the distinct characteristics and elements of the rural criminal justice process. The opportunity to understand rural criminal justice concepts and contexts will provide students with the appropriate empirical base to facilitate further study of the complete criminal justice experiences and processes. 3 Credit(s).
