CJU 257 - Criminal Procedure

Institution:

Luzerne County Community College

Subject:

Criminal Justice

Description:

By developing an understanding of the substantive criminal law, students learn what acts and omissions are considered crimes, as well as the respective sanctions imposed against those who violate our laws. Equally important is developing an understanding of the procedural criminal law that governs the administration of criminal justice. This course is designed to explore the procedural component of the criminal law. Improper actions of criminal justice officials during the investigation of a violation of the substantive law may result in the case being lost due to procedural errors. Areas to be discussed include: the court system, probable cause, the exclusionary rule, frisks, arrest, search and seizure, interrogation, as well as the consequences of improper police conduct.
