This course is designed to introduce the concepts, principles, and practices of the juvenile justice system. The primary topics of this course include examinations of specialized juvenile law and the unique role of the courts, police, and corrections in the juvenile justice system. An important aspect of the course is for students to understand the role that race, gender, class, geographic location and other demographic variables play in the likelihood of one finding his or her way into the juvenile justice system, as well as the manner in which social service agencies (treatment facilities, diversion/prevention programs, child protective services) interact with the formal juvenile justice system.
