LAW 6505 - Intra:Criminal Sanction

Institution:

University of Dayton

Subject:

Law

Description:

The area of law where theory and reality meet on a daily basis with the intersection having the most profound consequences our society permits, is the law, policies, and implementation of the criminal sanction. This all-too-brief Intra-Session Course will review the history and social purposes of a community¿s imposition of sanctions for actions or nonactions which it deems a crime. Traditional law school courses focus on the ¿how¿ of the criminal sanction; that is, for example, constitutional issues of the death penalty or procedural safeguards of the pre and post adjudication process. Through a combination of lectures, readings, interactive panel discussions, and visits to a prison, a community-based correctional facility, and a drug treatment program, the students will better understand: What are sanctions? Why do they exist? Who is impacted by them? Are they accomplishing their goals and, if not, what can be done? Credit type C.
