CRJ 489 - Law, Crime, and Society

Institution:

University of Michigan-Dearborn

Subject:

Criminal Justice Studies

Description:

This course will incorporate both legal and empirical perspectives to emphasize the dynamic relationship between law, crime, and society. In this course, we will focus on the substantive and procedural criminal law ('law on the books') while we simultaneously focus on empirical research of enforcement, case processing and sentencing in the criminal justice system (the 'law in action'). As a result, we will assess the relationship and differences between what the criminal law says 'on the books' and the criminal justice system 'in action'.
