PUBM 5730 - Administration of Justice

3 credit hours
Formerly - PUBM 573

The local government’s justice system is very costly, consuming nearly three-fourths of county government resources and as much as half of city resources. The course provides students with the background to appreciate theoretical perspectives on justice. It also considers the empirical research describing the impacts and cost-effectiveness of competing models of policing and corrections. This course equips the public manager to critically examine the justice system’s approaches and resource requests. Elective.
