CJ 237 : GENDER, SEXUALITY & JUSTICE

This course addresses the intersections of gender, sexuality, and criminal justice. Victims, offenders, communities, and professionals working in the system will all be explored. Students will critically examine the ways in which the criminal justice system interacts with and impacts individuals based on their gender identity and sexuality, including the unique biases and challenges that individuals with diverse gender and sexual identities face. Feminist Criminology and Queer Criminology will be foundations of the course.
