Have you ever considered if our criminal justice system is fair and effective? Examine how the police, courts and prison system respond to criminal behaviour.
In this field school you will experience what it is like working in the Criminal Justice System by:
- Exploring forensic techniques used to investigate criminals and crime scenes
- Getting a close-up look at the court process by participating in a mock trial with actual members of the criminal justice system
- Examining the differences between retributive and restorative justice
Throughout this two-week field study, issues of contemporary interest will be explored including: wrongful convictions, mental health and the law, murdered/missing Aboriginal women and girls, serial killers, racial profiling and police deviance.
