Ethics in Justice
Course #: SOCIOL 260
Description:
This course examines how philosophies of justice and ethical challenges may influence or shape human behavior. This course will expose students to the ethics of justice by contemplating the challenges that arise when considering right versus wrong (Who defines what is right? Are definitions of right actions universal?) by looking at a series of historical and contemporary issues in social and criminal justice. The goal of the course is to expand thinking about the personal, societal, and professional considerations brought to bear when making judgements regarding what is right and what is wrong in social policy and justice.
