CRIJ 4334 Homeland Security
This course explores the impact of 9/11 on law enforcement organizations and criminal justice agencies in the United States and examines the linked relationship between local, state, and federal law enforcement with the military and homeland security organizations. Students will also focus on terrorism-related issues including the motivations and actions taken by trans-national terrorist groups around the world. There is a strong emphasis on understanding how the broader impacts of homeland security issues at the national level and how they trickle down to the local law enforcement communities. This course serves as a continuation of CRIJ 4333 Contemporary Policing and should be taken second in the sequence.
