A survey of current practices in institutional and community corrections will give students an opportunity to understand the roles and responsibilities of probation, parole, and correctional officers as they fulfill the obligations of their professions. Students will also explore the parallel adult and juvenile justice systems to determine points of intersection as well as the gross differences between them in philosophy and practice. Prerequisite: CRJ 101 (CJUS 1 01) with grade of C or higher. A grade of C or higher is required to pass the course.
