JLC-447 Policing in a Global Context (3)

Law enforcement is evolving more quickly and with more scrutiny than previously in the United States. Operating in such a charged, ever-changing environment leaves little opportunity or time to seek answers to critical programmatic questions. Internationally, the established norms of security and policing have also been tested and reformed at a similarly rapid rate. This course explores whether innovative and effective policing strategies for U.S. policing may be found beyond our borders. Students utilize a three-part framework: analysis of classical-to-contemporary policing theory and commentary; policing perspectives presented in class by law enforcement practitioners from around the world; and analyses of key policing topics that develop and improve their analytical and communication skills.
