This is a "terminal seminar" course for graduate students in criminal justice and security administration. The course reviews the major concepts and theories of criminal justice from the perspective of social justice. Certain central questions provide focus for the course: To what extent is the criminal justice system responding equitably to the requirements of society? Regarding the issue of legitimacy, what requirements that must be met for a legal system to command the moral allegiance of its citizenry? What would an "ideal" criminal justice look like? How might Rawls' "veil of ignorance" and other conceptions of justice be used to design an ideal system?
