Description: The student will critically examine the intention and implementation of correctional policy and practices. To do this, the history of corrections will be traversed, taking into consideration the justification and effects of corrections. Using the historical development as a way of understanding current ideas, students will be asked to analyze contemporary methods, focusing again upon the justification and its impact upon the offender, future offenders, the criminal justice system and society.

Prerequisite skills and knowledge: The student should have an understanding of the structure and functions of the various parts of the criminal justice system and the relationship of federal, state and local criminal-justice agencies, such as might be learned in a course in Introduction to Criminal Justice. This can be supported through work within the field of criminal justice, or related civil service fields. Introductory study in sociology, psychology and/or human development is desirable but not required.

Important Note: this course was renamed effective the September 2014 term and was formerly offered as American Corrections: Theory, Policy and Practice. Students who have successfully completed 264614, should not enroll in this course.
