CJ 226 The Police, the Citizen, and the Community (3)
This course covers the historical development of modern law enforcement, from Sir Robert Peel's time to the present; the traditions of police forces and the demographics of law enforcement officials; and the techniques employed by police officers, with an emphasis on the increasingly important modern tools of policing: computers, statistical analysis, and forensics. The course also explores important current issues in law enforcement such as the return of community policing, the role of the media, and racial profiling. Formerly PO 226.
