Courses
An introductory course that familiarizes the student with the basic history, structure, function, and problems associated with the criminal justice system. The course will examine a variety of general and specific controversies associated with the contemporary criminal justice system in order to develop a critical perspective on the nature of justice and society's response to behavior that has been labeled as criminal.

A study of peaceful, non-violent societies and observation of the processes and conditions that shape relations of peace and non-violence. The course presents evidence that our human potential for peaceful relationships is strong and is a long-standing part of our human behavior. Studies of peace suggest we have the ability to find new approaches to the attainment of peace in our own violent and warlike time.
