Unfortunately, this information is full of distortions, leading to policies that themselves are based on these distortions that have very little chance of accomplishing their purposes. This course is designed to help students identify these distortions and their consequences, compare and contrast the public image and reality of crime, and consider the implications of these findings for criminal justice policy and practice.
