Criminal Justice Process
explores
policing, the court system, and the system of corrections in Western
society, especially the United States. Major components of the
criminal justice system are theoretically linked to larger social
arrangements, including class and race-ethnic stratification.
Ethical problems, such as deadly force, police corruption and
brutality, and disparities in arrest and sentencing, are given
special attention. The history and function of criminal justice is
examined from various standpoints and alternatives to the current
structure of law and punishment are considered. |
