Program Description:
 UWW Faculty-led: UK: Law, Crime and Punishment

london
The Program:
This class allows students to explore legal studies and government evolution and development in a cross-cultural context. Specifically, we will examine legal and governmental institutions that regulate crime and punishment policy and resolve disputes domestically and regionally. A portion of the class will be conducted in the United States, with the remaining portions taught in Edinburgh and London.
 
Over the semester, students will:
  • Compare law, crime, and punishment theories across political and cultural norms and apply this knowledge to global and national-level legal issues, contexts, and processes.
  • Compare the evolution of institutions in the United States to those in London and Edinburgh by exploring the values, beliefs, and perspectives underlying and informing the institutions in these countries.
  • Develop critical-thinking skills, problem-solving strategies, and the capacity to cope effectively with ambiguous or unfamiliar situations.
  • Gain experience and insights related to careers in law and government.
  • Experience what the cities offer, travel to different sites, and have fun!
