Introduction to Justice Studies
This course introduces the interdisciplinary field of justice studies as a lens to examine social justice movements.

It explores these social, economic, political, and criminal justice issues by means of sociological, philosophical, and legal perspectives and methodologies. Students critically assess the obstacles and opportunities central to the pursuit of justice in the United States and abroad. UC CREDIT LIMITATION: Credit for ADM 100/ADM 100H or SOC 105.
