CRJU 1400 Ethics and Cultural Perspectives for Criminal Justice

This course explores ethics and cultural perspectives in criminal justice. In presenting ethics, instructors will examine both the individual perspective and the organizational standpoint. Students will study four areas of ethical decision-making opportunities: law enforcement ethics, correctional ethics, legal profession ethics, and policymaking ethics. The presentation of cultural perspectives is designed to aid law enforcement officers to better understand and communicate with members of other cultures with whom they come in contact in the line of duty. Topics include defining and applying terms related to intercultural attitudes, role-play activities related to intercultural understanding, developing interpersonal/intercultural communication competencies, and developing a personal intercultural growth plan.
