CRJ 265 - Technology in Criminal Justice 3 cr.


In this course students explore current and emerging technology innovations in the criminal justice system. Topic areas include new technology used in crime commissions, and new technology used for crime control. The course will cover both “hard” technology (e.g. equipment, hardware, devices, etc.) and “soft” technology (e.g. computer software programs, information systems, classification, devices, and other problem‐solving applications) in each of the following areas: crime prevention, police, courts, institutional corrections, community corrections and the private sector. Students engage with practical exercises to develop IT literacy through the use of various applications used for crime analysis, planning and data‐driven decision making. This will include the use of geographic information systems (GIS) to explore the uses of computerized mapping for public safety, and the use of spreadsheets and database systems. Prerequisite: CRJ 101 , ENG 101 , LIB 111
