Introduction to Canadian Criminal Justice System

In this introductory course learners will use a systems based approach to examine the constantly evolving Canadian criminal justice system. They will examine the roles and functions of each component of the system - police, courts, and corrections in relation to the system as a whole. They will analyze the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the system. They will also explore contemporary related issues, including public/private relationships in the law enforcement context, public involvement in criminal justice processes, restorative justice, and programs designed to reduce crime and rehabilitate offenders.

This course is only open to students who have been admitted to the Diploma of Law Enforcement Studies. Please see the LESD program page for more information, and for instructions on how to apply to the program.
