Discussion #1 – Women in CJ
For this first discussion, you will be required to respond to the question below. You will need to draw on previous knowledge or information obtained on women in the CJ system from previous CJ (or psych or sociology) courses.
We will start off with a fairly simple post so that you can get acquainted with the process.
FOR ALL DISCUSSIONS, make certain to review the guidelines on discussion posts (see syllabus) if you are uncertain of how to approach the post. More importantly, you MUST submit a substantive reply to another student’s post, AND, you should always provide evidence to support your argument. Again, see the course syllabus for an example.
ALWAYS PROOFREAD BEFORE SUBMITTING TO CHECK FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR.
POST:
In your opinion, why is the study of women in the criminal justice system (in law enforcement and as offenders/victims) so important to the discussion on crime and criminal justice? By this I mean, what role or roles (as enforcers of the law and those being enforced) do you think is/are critical to the current discussion of crime and criminal justice as it relates to women? Explain your answer in detail, making certain to provide the link to at least TWO(2) peer-reviewed articles as evidence to your argument.
Within your discussion, make certain to provide short summaries/descriptions of the major findings from the two articles.
