In this course students will learn about criminological theories, the criminal justice system, including the court system and laws, all facets of law enforcement, and the department of corrections. Students will gain a deep understanding and history of criminal justice in the United States. The statewide dual credit initiative provides academically challenging, high school courses that are aligned to postsecondary standards. Students who pass the course challenge exam earn credit that can be applied to any public postsecondary institution in Tennessee. An assessment test and/or rubric will be used to determine placement in honors and AP level courses.
