About
This course will focus on the issues of drugs, crime and the American criminal justice system with respect to their interactions and influences with each other. This class will address these subjects through multiple perspectives: the historical evolution of drug use and control in the U.S., the classification and effects of specific drugs, the relationship between drug use and criminal activity, criminal justice system responses to issues of drug use, abuse and dependency among offenders, and the impact and implications of drug-related crime policies (including recent trends in decriminalization and legalization).
