Bio

John McCluskey earned his BA, MA, and Ph.D. from the University at Albany, and we suspect he may have attended kindergarten there as well. His primary teaching areas include Criminal Justice and Theory. His most recent research has included the study of body camera adoption in two divisions of LAPD with Justice and Security Strategies, a large scale longitudinal data collection effort to measure prevalence, causes, and consequences of teacher victimization in San Antonio, Texas with Dr. Byongook Moon, and a national study of the evidentiary value of body worn camera among prosecutors and defense attorneys.

CRIM-110
Introduction to Criminal Justice
3 Credits
This course provides an introduction to criminal justice. One of the primary goals of this course is to provide a general understanding of how the criminal justice system responds to crime in society. The main component parts of the criminal justice system (i.e., police, courts, and corrections) will be examined with a particular emphasis on developing an understanding of the behavior and interactions among the main actors in the criminal justice system. To accomplish this goal, we will examine how criminal cases are processed in the criminal justice system. We will also consider how external forces, such as political decisions, public opinion, and the media influence criminal justice decision-making. Students will also formulate, argue, and evaluate ethical perspectives regarding criminal justice systems, individual-level decisions, and recognize relationships with other ethical problems in society. Finally, throughout the course we will emphasize how the societal response to crime has evolved over time.
