While the United States continues to incarcerate more individuals per capita than any country in the world, there is also growing momentum around criminal justice reform. This course will highlight the roles and interests of key stakeholders in the criminal legal system including judges, prosecutors, police, sheriffs, and correctional officers, as well as advocates for criminal defendants and incarcerated persons to assess prospects for and resistance to reform. We will also consider a broader, comparative frame, situating the U.S. criminal legal system in a global context. Readings will include case law, social science literature, and comparative law texts.
