Stuart Van Wormer, Katherine, and Bartollas, Clemens, 2000.  Women And The Criminal Justice System. Boston: Allyn and Bacon.

• Students are required to take two essay examinations, a midterm and a final. The midterm is to be taken after the student has finished reading the Preface, Part 1 and 2. The final is to be taken after the student has finished reading Parts 3 and 4.  The final is inclusive of all course material.  

• Students will be required to write three short papers, approximately three to four pages in length.  For the first writing assignment, the students will be assigned a topic.  For the last two writing assignments, students will pick the topic they wish to research from a list of topics.  Each set of topics have been selected to assist students in gaining knowledge of the different areas involved in the criminal justice system and to help students gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues that influence how women are treated by the criminal justice system. 

• A five to seven page term paper is also required.  It will account for 25% of the total course grade.
