This course compares and contrasts the various management issues associated with urban, rural, and municipal criminal justice agencies. Criminal justice students will study the perplexing and often-times competing goals that face the leaders/administrators of criminal justice agencies. This travel course will include a visit to the Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, DC, where criminal justice students will experience urban policing/administration first hand. Additionally, our students will be exposed to the workings of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government unique to this historic city. [Prerequisite: CRJ 101]
