Description:
Course Number and Title: CRI3020H F Criminology and the Policy Making Process
Number of Positions: 1. We are seeking 1 Sessional Lecturer I to teach the course (0.5 FCE).
Course Description: Criminological theories and research are used by a wide variety of non-academic audiences including activists, bureaucrats, lawyers, judges, politicians and law enforcement actors. This course will examine criminology's potential to propel social change or reinforce the status quo by studying a selection of current Canadian debates and policy discussions within the fields of civil liberties and criminal justice. Specific topics may include criminal record checks, the bail system and pre-trial detention, "carding" and racial profiling, prison conditions, safe injection sites, prostitution and/or sentencing reform. The topics will cover a range of processes which mobilize criminological expertise including litigation, government-led policy reform and grass roots activism. Throughout the course we will consider the benefits and pitfalls of using social science to propel social change and the various ways in which social science research has been used (or abused) within the Canadian context.
