Description:

As the position of women changes in society, changes occur within the criminal justice system. This course will provide students with a clearer view of how women have historically been treated by and within the system, the current status of women, the problems which have resulted from rapid changes, and a view of what is likely to happen in the future. Female crime victims, female criminals, and women who work in the criminal justice field will be discussed. Attention will also be paid to the changing status of men in the system, and the special problems they face (i.e. sexual harassment or discrimination complaints).
