Description:

Prerequisites: CJS 190 or WMS 101 Explores the impact that women have on the criminal legal system, as well as the impact that the system has upon women’s lives. Despite women’s involvement in all aspects of the criminal legal system, research in the field has historically focused on the roles of men. This course will broaden that study by exploring issues relevant to understanding the experiences of women and girls as both offenders and victims. In addition, we will look at the changing roles of women as prison guards, police officers and other officers of the court. Cross-listed as WMS 321
