CRI 354 - Policing and Society (3 cr.)


As a “survey” type of course CRI 354 will necessarily touch upon many theories, authors, issues, and problems related to the policing of a free society. It is meant to be a broad introduction to several fields at once; we will study the individual police officer’s experience (and that of the police subculture) as well as police organizations and operations. Discussion will avail the student of theoretical as well as practical information relating to the functions of the police. On a regular basis, the endeavor will involve comparing “real life” police work to theories and images, presented throughout our society, of how the police operate.
