CRJ 340 Juvenile Justice


3 credit hours

This course will analyze the nature, extent, and causes of juvenile delinquency, along with the social administration of justice for juveniles. The legal rights and inter-relationship of juveniles with other institutions, including law enforcement, criminal courts, and placement alternatives, will be examined. We will examine and discuss contemporary juvenile media issues, changing public perceptions, violent crime, and public frustration, and the ensuing impact on juvenile delinquents and the system. Efforts will be made to give students a real life view of juvenile justice through discussion of actual cases, field trips, and visiting professionals.
