and how external and internal forces influence this operation.  The
course will also highlight recurring themes that emerge throughout
the system, such as discretion, criminal justice in theory and in
practice, and common misconceptions and myths about the system.  The
course will also provide students with the opportunity to explore,
discuss, and critically analyze contemporary criminal justice issues.
