CRJ 8090 - Constitutional Policing and Corrections

Credit Hours: 3

Of critical importance to municipalities, police departments, correctional institutions, and criminal justice practitioners generally, is the notion of civil liability. In this course students will examine specific conduct such as illegal search and seizure, false arrests, and how all of this applies to criminal justice managers and department heads. The analysis begins with negligent hiring in the first instance, and follows through examining negligent training, negligent supervision, and negligent retention.
