Teaching Introduction to Criminology provides instructors with the
tools and knowledge to effectively build and teach foundational
courses in criminology. Understanding that introductory criminology
courses attract a wide variety of students and also provide
fundamental knowledge for more advanced courses in the discipline,
this text provides educators with a framework by which they can
confidently teach the information that is most important and
applicable to students. Over the course of eight chapters,
educators learn tips and tricks for designing an effective course
syllabus, organizing a course schedule, and engaging students and
enhancing learning for both small and large courses. Additional
chapters offer alternative methods for delivering course content,
including guest lectures, interactive tools, and community-based
strategies. Selecting a textbook, integrating media, assessing
student learning, classroom management, and ethical issues are also
covered. The text closes with a chapter that explores teaching
introductory criminology courses in different modalities, including
in-person lectures, online classes, and flipped or hybrid classes,
and measuring teaching effectiveness through student and colleague
evaluations. Featuring practical advice and innovative teaching
approaches, Teaching Introduction to Criminology is an effective
recourse for novice and tenured educators alike.
The current study addressed the issues of gender and racial
differences in judicial waiver decisions in one state. The study
provides an examination of existing juvenile justice research, and
augments a neglected area of research regarding girls and judicial
waiver. The present research examines the variables that influence
the judicial waiver decision for girls and explores the differences
between girls and boys who were judicially waived to adult court.
Utilizing juvenile court data from 1994 through 2000, the current
findings provide a fairly complex portrait of the effects of
several variables on judicial waiver. Based upon the variables that
were tested in this study, it is suggests that increased
delinquency prevention programs, such as truancy prevention and
increased counseling services for girls, are warranted. The
findings also indicate that future research about the transfer of
girls to adult court is needed in order to attempt to understand
fully the variables that influence judicial waiver.
