CC415
Analyzing Issues in Policing
0.5 Credit

This course builds on knowledge acquired in CC291 - Introduction to Policing, and engages students in theoretically-informed analyses of contemporary issues in policing. The social, political, economic, technological, and criminal justice landscapes in which police services operate provide important contexts for analyzing the issues. A comparative examination of how issues are constructed through media representations, scholarly texts, and guest speaker presentations, and the implications of these, is emphasized.
