This course will examine how criminological research influences the creation
of public policy at the national, state and local levels. We will cover a
variety of research (ethnographic, empirical and phenomenological) in the
areas of policing, punishment and corrections (including the death penalty),
criminal defense and prosecution, and the courts (including drug, community
and reentry courts). Each of these areas has its own particular criminological
tradition and history and research in these areas has had very different
implications for the development of public policy. For instance, research
on policing and domestic violence has been very influential on public policy
in law enforcement while research on corrections and sentencing has made
few inroads into U.S. corrections policy. The course will be broken down
into these different areas and each will consist of reading the criminological
literature as well as critical work on policy development and implementation.
In addition, since the political dynamic and public discourse in each of
these areas is so varied, we will examine polling data and several recent
high profile cases and their implications for policy. Readings will include
work by Jerome Skolnick, Jim Fyfe, Loic Wacquant, Franklin Zimring, Lawrence
Sherman, Jack Katz, Terry Williams, George Kelling and Bernard Harcourt among
others.
