Course Description:
This module examines the contemporary issues affecting equality and the justice system. The module considers whether different sections of society are treated in an equal and fair fashion by the criminal justice system, with a focus upon issues surrounding social inequality, race and ethnicity, religion, youth, gender and criminal justice. The issues and tensions that confront the wide range of participants in criminal justice processes will be examined and the cultural and political contexts in which discrimination, marginalisation and victimisation occur, both within and outside of the criminal justice system, will be considered. The contributory factors behind a range of riots and disorders will also be critically assessed.
