CJS 2450 - Diversity and Multiculturalism in Criminal Justice
Credits: 3
This course will examine the importance of cultural awareness within the criminal justice field as well as the intersections between diverse groups and the agencies, policies, practices, and actors of the criminal justice system. Issues such as bias, stereotyping, hate and prejudice will be discussed as well as the context structure of various cultures. Students will examine how cultural differences impact perceptions and relationships and identify barriers to cross-cultural communication. Factors such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, class, status, age, disability, religion and marginalized groups will be examined with respect to the contacts that criminal justice practitioners have with citizens, victims, suspects, and co-workers.
