Letter Grade Explores personal, relational, social-systemic legal, and psychological dimensions of wrongful convictions. Begins with the personal stories of wrongfully convicted people and the familial, communal, and social harms they entail. We then turn to a brief overview of the agents and agencies that contribute to the obtention of a conviction in U.S. criminal legal systems: lawmakers and criminal law; police and law enforcement, including forensic and investigative procedures and personnel; prosecutors and prosecutorial offices; judges and the judiciar defense attorneys and the defense bar. Throughout, we consider the cognitive biases, errors, and overt misconduct among these agents and agencies that contribute to wrongful convictions. Finally, we will raise questions about whether healing and policy reform are possible and what forms they might take.
Letter Grade Students will gain a general understanding of the nature of criminal behavior from both the classical and the deterministic schools. Theories and research focusing on the individual causes and social and environmental determinants will also be explored. The theories are placed against a backdrop of the pendulum swing between punishment and rehabilitation that has guided policy and procedures in criminal justice pena philosophy since inception.
Letter Grade Explores the nature and history of sex crimes. Topics will include how the criminal justice system deals with sexual offenses and community response to sex crime, such as Megan’s laws and sexually violent predator laws. Particular attention will be paid to th elements of rape, most notably consent. The course will also study important case law and inquiry into sex crimes against children. ,
Letter Grade This course provides opportunities to examine more deeply the values, principles, and practices of restorative justice (RJ) in an interpersonal, societal, and global context. Through an RJ lens, we will look at critical issues and topics, such as “othering,” victimization, closure, forgiveness, and leadership. Our study of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa, y;Family Group Conferencing in Australia and New Zealand, and the Circle Process will move our examination from theory to practice. With practice in mind, we want to consider the following questions throughout the course: How does the RJ philosophy connect to my everyday life? How can what I’m learning make a difference in me and those around me? How can I implement the values, principles, and practices of RJ in my relationships and community? This course is experiential and dialogue-oriented with the aid of readings, videos, interactive learning experiences, and writing, all leading to final . group projects that aim to tangibly implement RJ.
