CJUS 2575 — Multicultural Law Enforcement
3 credits · Social Studies
Offered in: Fall
Description
This course provides an understanding of our justice system in America as it pertains to police and community relations. An
increasing number of leaders in law enforcement agencies and their employees have accepted the premise that greater
cross-cultural competency and improved cross-racial/ethnic relations must be a key objective of all management and
professional development. Demographic changes have had a tremendous impact not only on the types of crimes committed,
but also on the composition of the law enforcement workforce and the people with whom officers make contact. To be
effective, police executives must understand and be responsive to the diversity in their work forces and in their changing
communities. Professionalism today includes the need for greater consideration across cultures and improved
communication with members of diverse groups. This course will prepare the student to be familiar with those
considerations and the diversity in which law enforcement professionals' work. Each week we will focus on different
chapters, writing situations, issues, or problems encountered in the justice system through our writing assignments.
