CRIM 105 Introduction to Corrections

Introduction to Corrections traces the theoretical development of the penal system and how the criminal justice system and society deal with crime and punishment. Introduction to Corrections demonstrates how race and socio-economics problems can impact the correctional system. Research displays a change in policy from the goal of rehabilitation in the 1970's to the primacy of crime control goals in the 1980's. Introductions to Corrections will allow students to analyze the working comprehension of corrections from incarceration to community supervision.
