CJ 330 - Corrections and Community Supervision

This course examines the key roles in the criminal justice system played by corrections (jails and prisons), community supervision (probation and parole programs), and diversion and alternative sentencing programs (such as drug and mental health courts) in trying to achieve the sometimes seemingly contradictory goals of meting out just punishment to those convicted of crimes, protecting society, and rehabilitating offenders.
