CRJ 2810 Criminal Procedure
(formerly CRJ 281; SOC 181 and CRJ 181)
Criminal procedure revolves around the process of balancing the need of society to effectively redress criminal activity while preserving the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the criminal. This course will examine the process by which criminal law has been brought to bear upon the individual by analyzing cases in which the U.S. Supreme Court has reviewed the actions of police, prosecuting attorneys and judges. The enduring social implications of these cases will be discussed.
