CRCJ 4960 ISSUES IN CRIME AND JUSTICE (3 credits)
This is a capstone course. Each student will identify and explore a contemporary issue relevant to crime and justice policy. Students will develop multimedia packages designed to educate and advocate for their chosen policy action (e.g., adoption, reform, replacement). The purpose of the course is to allow students to integrate their previous course experiences and skills, independent research, and community stakeholder engagement (via interviews) into an activity that demonstrates critical thinking, synthesis, and evaluation.
Prerequisite(s): CRCJ majors with senior standing, OR permission of the instructor. Not open to non-degree graduate students.
