Description:

With a comparative approach, this course analyzes how the criminal justice systems interconnect to countries' crime and crime control issues and to their broader economic and social issues and institutions. It focuses on how countries that have faced major political and social upheavals during the past several decades have struggled to develop workable crime control methods as well as methods of conflict resolution that provide justice for victims, fairness for those accused, and avenues for reconciliation. It also analyzes how global terrorism and internal criminal threats affect countries' ability to maintain and improve their citizens' civil liberties and human rights.
