Description
This is a workshop course that introduces students to the comparative study of crime problems and criminal justice responses, examining strategies for controlling crime and delivering justice across many different countries. The course combines reading, lecture, and discussion with work on an ongoing project of practical reform. Students each join a project of research and reform currently underway in the Kennedy Schools Program in Criminal Justice Policy & Management. Projects for 2009–10 include: opportunities to work on police reform in the United States, England, Australia, Africa, and Latin America; performance measurement of sector-wide justice reform in developing countries; criminal procedure reform in China; development of international criminal justice; and more. Students with prior course work or professional experience in criminal law or procedure, law enforcement, criminal justice, or criminology will be in a strong position to take full advantage of the course material, but the workshop is open to all students. Also offered by the Law School as LAW-48855A.
