| Description: |
This course is designed to introduce students to the study of law enforcement and policing in America. It is a fascinating and complicated topic that demands careful analysis and deep thought. The idea of hiring people to direct and control the behavior and conduct of citizens may be confusing to Americans who value liberty and may mistrust government interference. The number and variety of police officers, police organizations, and law enforcement functions are essential to the study of policing. We will explore cultural diversity, develop a deeper understanding of human behavior, and critically evaluate the direction and trends in modern police organizations.
