The Department of Criminal Justice has added two online 400-level Intensive Writing courses for the Summer 2020 term. One is a second section of CJUS-P 414 for the first 6 weeks term, while CJUS-P 407 is being offered during the second 6 weeks.
CJUS-P 414: Adolescents and the Law
This course examines the place of adolescents in American law and policy. Students explore the foundations of adolescents’ rights, their limits, and their relationship to changing sociocultural images of adolescents. The course focuses on the ideological conflicts between the proper role of adolescents, parents and communities in ensuring adolescents’ rights. The conflicting ideologies are addressed specifically from the perspective of adolescents themselves. Students who do well in this class (1) will have learned how the social sciences generally approach the period of adolescence, (2) will be able to articulate different myths about the period of adolescence and their influence on the manner society regulates adolescents, (3) will understand how the legal system regulates families as well as adolescents, (4) will appreciate the importance of civil rights in addressing issues relating to criminal justice as well as broader justice, (5) will understand how to read case law as well as develop a working knowledge of key legal issues such as the right to privacy, due process, equal protection, seizure, punishment, as well as how the legal system generally approaches constitutional rights.
