CJBA 111 Introduction to Major Problems in Criminal Justice II

3 hours 

This is the second semester of a year-long introductory sequence of major problems in criminal justice. The focus of the spring semester is on the operation of the legal system and major dilemmas in policing. The overarching aim of this course is to familiarize students with the sorts of questions researchers ask and how they go about answering them. Students will be asked to read original research and data, and to use these materials to construct hypotheses and original research questions.
