Description: The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the components of the criminal justice system that deal with convicted criminal offenders in community-based settings. The material covered in this course can be roughly divided into four distinct sections: a foundation for understanding the role of corrections in the justice enterprise, an overview of the various intermediate sanctions, treatment regimens and programming, parole and probation, and reentry. This class explores the multi-faceted, multi-agency strategies that have been developed to guide ex-inmates in their adjustment to life in the "outside world," and the measures being taken to help reduce recidivism among this high-risk group.

Description: Violent crime has always been a part of the world’s make-up, but the question is why? Why would someone commit such heinous crimes? What was going through their minds leading up to the act and even during the crime itself or another words “what went wrong?” This course will explore the inner thoughts of a violent criminal and the motive behind their crimes. This course will focus on a variety of topics of violent crime, specifically on psychological profiling, field investigations on relevant and high-profile case studies to illustrate theory and application of the methods discussed, and case-by-case analyses of chilling, first-person accounts.
