CRJU 363 - Intimate Partner Violence

Institution:
Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania
Subject:
Description:
This course will provide students with an overview of the theoretical paradigms examining the definitions of, causes of, ramifications of, and interventions for intimate partner violence. More specifically, from a criminal justice perspective we will (1) examine the nature and extent of intimate partner violence; (2) take an in-depth look at the perpetrators and victims of intimate partner violence; (3) examine theories to gain a better understanding of why these forms of violence take place; (4) examine the criminal justice response (e.g., police, courts, corrections, juvenile justice) to intimate partner violence; and (5) examine some of the larger cultural contexts within which the varieties of abuse occur. This course recognizes that a disproportionate number of the victims are women, but that a strict feminist analysis needs to be modified to recognize abuse in same sex relationships and a growing literature on female offenders.
