Description

With an interdisciplinary approach, human service professionals will gain an understanding of crime, criminal law, law enforcement, courts, corrections and juvenile justice. Human service professionals will learn how to interact with the criminal justice system as advocates for their clients and/or employees regarding protection from dangerous consumers. Case studies and field experiences will be used to demonstrate how the criminal justice system addresses the special needs of consumers with mental illnesses, addictions, developmental disabilities and abuse issues.
