In order to facilitate successful interactions with Black Americans in their community, students will learn about the generational trauma that impacts the experience of Black Americans in U.S. society. Fundamental concepts and principles of race and policing are taught to better understand perceptions, challenges, and relationships between law enforcement and Black Americans through lecture, self-reflection, and videos.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- demonstrate their understanding of how policing and race intersect within the criminal justice system;
- summarize and understand the historical and significant events that have impacted the ways in which law enforcement agencies have interacted with people of varying race; and
- describe the ways in which the criminal justice system disproportionately impacts Black Americans and contributes to generational trauma.
