This intensive course provides an overview of the structure and operation of the Canadian criminal justice system. Explore the core components of the justice system, including law enforcement, courts, and corrections, while considering the influence of social, political and economic factors on crime, and its control. Contemporary challenges will be examined including the overrepresentation of marginalized individuals, both as victims and offenders, professional misconduct, oversight/accountability, and the impact of technology. Experiential place-based learning will be prioritized through field-based learning whenever possible and this may include engagement with personnel and the major agencies of the criminal justice system.
