Patti Miley, chair of family and consumer sciences email mileyp. Sociology Electives 9 hours. Under advisement, students must select 18 hours of directed electives from the following programs: Sociology, Psychology, and Family and Consumer Sciences. Digital and Research Cluster. The department offers a minor in Anthropology which provides students with an opportunity to examine the discipline as a possible area of graduate study and as a complement to a Certificate in Forensics. A minor for the Bachelor of Arts degree requires at least 12 semester hours, at least three of which must be at the Senior College level.
The mission of the Criminal Justice Program at Henderson State University is to advance theory, practice, and cause of criminal justice through scholarship, teaching, training, and technical assistance in responding to the needs of students, criminal justice professionals, and society. Each program is embedded in a liberal arts education.
The academic program for the criminal justice major requires credit hours. The major program consists of two options. Option I follows an academic classroom model, preparing the student for either entry to employment, or for advanced graduate or professional studies. This option requires a 15 hour class component with a required writing intensive capstone in which the student will exemplify the knowledge of and application of theory, conceptualization, research methods, operationalization, observations, and data processing and analysis in a directed project followed by an oral presentation.
Option II provides the student with an alternative service learning experience that includes a 15 hour field practicum enhancing employability. This option prepares the student for entry level criminal justice jobs. Option I is designed to provide those students wishing to pursue a graduate or other professional degree with a firm foundation in research design, statistics, and sociological and criminological theory.
Option II is designed to provide those wishing to directly enter a criminal justice career with the professional skills to analyze criminal justice and criminological issues through academic and applied settings. Students seeking the Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice may choose between two options. In addition to completing all other requirements for the degree , students may choose either Option I or Option II.
Option I requires completion of 15 hours of traditional classroom curriculum as follows: Option II requires completion of the 15 hour Practicum Block. Classroom Based and Required Capstone 15 Hours. Practicum Block 15 Hours. Students may select these courses in satisfaction of electives. The Criminal Justice Certificate enhances career opportunities in law enforcement, the courts and corrections.
This certificate may be coupled with your major and minor to provide you with additional education that can lead to greater responsibility, career advancement and income growth. The requirements for the 12 Hour program are: The Certificate in Forensics enhances career opportunities in law enforcement, the courts and corrections, psychology, chemistry and computer sciences. The Certificate and Minor Program in Gerontology will enable students to earn extra qualifications while they are working toward their B.
This program would also benefit currently employed caregivers in the field of aging and those interested in learning more about the elderly. Student should see gerontology advisor, Dr. The undergraduate minor in human diversity provides students with a broad intellectual framework for understanding common human experience and differences. Courses fulfilling this requirement foster respect for the diversity of people and cultures within the bond of humankind.
This minor examines differences and similarities in individual human behavior as related to issues such as race, ethnicity, gender, gender roles, creed, religion, culture, age, body type, physical conditions, sexual orientation, learning differences, social skills differences, intelligence level, regional differences, language, dialect, socioeconomic status, and other areas of individual and group differences. The minor is jointly administered by the departments of Psychology and Sociology.
Students are required to take 18 hours of coursework including Human Diversity PSY ; Racial and Cultural Minorities SOC ; Social Psychology either SOC or PSY — although we normally stress the deep differences between these two classes, for purposes of this minor either provides a useful foundation for considering interactions with diverse people ; and nine hours of electives. Classes used to meet the requirements of this minor may not also count toward major requirements. To promote exposure to a variety of perspectives on diversity issues, no more than nine of the 18 hours may come from a single discipline.
Psychology and sociology students may not use classes from their respective majors to count toward the electives for this minor. Because studies in human diversity should include interaction with one's fellow human beings, no coursework completed by distance learning correspondence or Internet may count toward this minor.

Yet, f or each of these rivalries one can detect over time the consolidation of relatively precarious hierarchies.
Focusing on these internal struggles is useful to identify the different capitals that allow different actors to appear as legitimate. Rather than weakening it, these struggles strengthen the singularity of the field. This led to the emergence of an elite identifiable by its specific socialisation and increasingly defined professional trajectories. Finally, the field of international criminal justice retains the additional strengthening characteristics of any legal field Bourdieu, In other words, it simplifies geopolitical facts into a binary and operational language resting on an innocent-guilty dichotomy.
This study outlines the heuristic potential of the field theory in order to better understand international criminalisation processes. The next two contributions use international relations critical theories — Third World approaches and post-colonial studies — to contribute to the decoding of these same processes. However, he believes that something is amiss.
Environmental justice: a criminological perspective - IOPscience
He describes Third World approaches as a decentralised and polycentric network of researchers and teachers interested in colonialism, perpetuation of domination, identity, and difference our translation. Zoungrana shows how this approach was developed in the s around the work of Taslim Olawale Elias and Georges Abi Saab, among others.
The pioneers were not really interested in postcolonial criminal justice. For instance, Elias was ambivalent towards customary law. Abi Saab gave shaded support to universal jurisdiction that would allow any State to prosecute any mass criminal. A more radical analysis would come later with the second generation of Third World thinkers. This analysis rests in the work of Said but, more especially, Anthony Anghie and Bhupinder Chimni The absence of trials for colonial crimes were exposed by these authors who were however conscious of the potential political, economic or ethnic instrumental attitudes towards any justice initiative.
Subsequently, some proponents of these approaches pleaded in favour of an extension of the international criminal justice mandate to collective and political liability. They also pleaded for a real — rather than postulated — universalisation of international criminal justice. These authors expose, on the one hand, the exceptionalism of the ICC — illustrated by the fact there are no prosecution against Western powers. On the other hand, they denunciated the false universalism of international criminal justice, which indeed rests on a Eurocentric narrative.
Thus, Third World authors value local, negotiated, and collective solutions whether it conflicts with ICC activities or not. This contradiction is highlighted by Wilfried Zoungrana. He acknowledges the dilemma experienced by these authors. On the one hand, nihilism leads authors to reify critique and therefore to avoid any research on alternatives.
On the other hand, compromise anxiety evokes the fear of not being able to do better than what we criticize. Nonetheless, Zougrana invites Third World and postcolonial thinkers to fully contribute to alternative reflections and practices to a penal response to mass atrocities. Admittedly, the debate between the idealists — those who see the ICC as a universal jurisdiction — and the realists — those who think the ICC is a form of legal imperialism our translation — has recently weakened.
As a result, pragmatic compromises or interim solutions our translation were favoured in order to improve the proper functioning of the Court. However, the colonial issue … does not disappear; it only shifts our translation. The continual shifting of this issue resulted from historiographical controversies our tranlslation: Therefore, the dominant narrative on colonial legacy , which is often portrayed as linear Simpson, , is in continuously need of retroactive coherence Tallgren, , xxviii.
International criminal justice introduces itself as a progressive and objective story our translation in order to dodge the colonial issue. Anne-Charlotte Martineau nonetheless proposes to break with this historiography of denial. In this respect, she observes how Western criminal law was introduced in the colonies: In the beginning, the modalities set to introduce criminal law in the colonies relied on a pair of ideas: The need for colonial legal pluralism Benton, quickly appeared essential.
The need to associate Western law to local actors and practices was indeed common to the different e. French or British colonial experiences despite their singularities. The author claims that understanding the peculiar relationships between former colonies and any international criminal regulation would allow a better understanding of the relationships between African States and the ICC. Martineau then examines the possibility to develop a postcolonial reading of international criminal jurisprudence. The underlying assumption is that international criminal justice imperialism lies in the construction of its relationships to the Other our translation.
On the one hand, their office sits on an effort to westernise Africa through analysing conflicts according to an occidental legal perspective. On the other hand, international criminal tribunals still attempt to take into account some African realities.

For example, Martineau relates how the Special Court for Sierra Leone considered the impact of beliefs in magic in its case law In other words, Anne-Charlotte Martineau offers a challenge to international criminal justice: Her work is in line with an agonistic perspective: Naftali is interested in deciphering activist struggles rather than celebrating its successes. The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentine first used this as a moral imperative , which later was recaptured by local and international organisations as the cornerstone of the fight against impunity.
The challenge lies in the articulation of different conceptions of truth and law. In this respect, the author reviews the negotiations which led to the adoption of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance 12 in December She underlines many stumbling blocks revealing many tensions between different conceptions of truth. Should amnesty be forbidden or may it contribute to the establishment of truth? Patricia Naftali considers that the legal formalisation of a militant request — here the recognition of the right to truth — appears as a decisive goal for these entrepreneurs.
Her contribution is in line with previous writings studying the processes underlying the construction of nations and their role in history and memory. Benghellab refers particularly to the work of Pierre Nora ; and Benedict Anderson along with other research more specific to transitional justice.
1st Edition
Transitional justice is defined as a process operationalising legal, political, psychological, and moral solutions aiming to conciliate justice, apology, and truth principles for the purposes of national re construction our translation. The author first takes a critical look at the medical and psychoanalytic metaphor widely used in transitional justice discourses.
Transitional justice is thus apprehended as a therapeutic process for communities affected by mass crimes. She then analyses this kind of justice as a particularly efficient mechanism in allowing new elites to differentiate themselves from the old ones. This quest for differentiation is achieved through acquisition of symbolic capital to establish and reinforce their new political legitimacy our translation.
This article is based on several documented cases for instance, of South Africa. These cases confirmed the uncertain nature of the subsequent scarring of the social fabric our translation as a goal for transitional justice. If this therapeutic ambition failed though, in which sense is transitional justice successful?
According to Nour Benghellab, transitional justice successfully contributed to create the underlying discourse of a nation building mechanism. By selecting the more legitimate narratives and in proposing to decide between competing facts, transitional justice produces a myth, i. This mythological function results from the struggles to re build a Nation in line with the dominant international order and, thus, the neo liberal rule of law.
