Teaching Capital Punishment in Criminal Justice Programs

Teaching emotionally charged subjects such as the death penalty can bring unique issues to the classroom. This 11th Annual Roundtable provides a forum in which to exchange ideas and best practices for teaching about capital punishment in criminal justice programs -- either as a stand-alone course or as part of courses in criminal law or criminal procedure. This roundtable will compare the advantages and disadvantages of online versus in-person learning for teaching this topic -- especially in light of lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic. Attendees are welcome and encouraged to bring their own examples of syllabi and/or assignments.

Diversity in Criminal Justice Administration: Addressing Microaggressions in the Criminal Justice System

We will be discussing and addressing the disparities in how the criminal justice system is administered and carried out in the United States. The researchers understand that these disparities likely stem from microaggressions experienced by administrators and/or leaders in various fields in the Criminal Justice system.

We will explore policing practices, sentencing decisions, outcomes, and post-release supervision, reflecting evidence-based practices that some groups
