Long Description: This book provides an overview of the criminal justice system and its primary components in the United States. Students will gain familiarity with the workings of, and relationship between, the police, courts, and both institutional and community corrections; it also spends significant time discussing the history of crime (and criminology) at the local, state, and national levels. While this book aims to give students a solid understanding of basic legal concepts and vocabulary, it will also take a socio-historical perspective that relates the evolution of US criminal justice to the contemporary structure of American society. Finally, this book is designed to support a primary research project that explores the relationship between individuals’ experiences of criminal victimization, attitudes toward firearms, and confidence in the police.

Short Description: The Justice eReader presents Landmark Supreme cases in their social and historical context and examines their impact on criminal justice, law, culture and politics in the United States.
Long Description: The John Jay College Justice eReader is a product of the Transforming the Justice Core Project, made possible through generous funding from the Teagle Foundation.
An interdisciplinary working group of scholars in the humanities, criminal justice and social sciences at John Jay identified Supreme Court cases of significance to a student body interested in social justice issues and their intersection with legal and criminal justice professions. With the cases as a foundation, the working group identified readings and media that facilitate students’ interpretation and analysis of the key themes and issues at stake in each case and developed new syllabi and assignments geared toward transfer students who have completed their associate degree. This text is organized by case and contains both original legal documents and a curated selected of Open Educational Resources that introduce perspectives and representations of the issues at stake in the cases. Instructors may also access sample syllabi, assignments, and course bibliographies to guide their own practice.
The eReader purposefully integrates humanities, liberal arts and social science perspectives to present a critical examination of Landmark Supreme Court cases alongside the ethical, social, legal and political questions and histories that inform them. Readers whose ambition is to serve their communities through public service, legal, law enforcement or other professions will develop their ability to reckon with the complex ethical and moral situation of the contemporary American justice system as a result of interaction with the Justice eReader.

This assignment is designed as a mini-research project with the purpose of having students engage with marginalized actors in history. The purpose is to help students find themselves in the archives by focusing on self-representation that is important to their own socio-economic and ethnic groups. By providing historical research in the form of primary and secondary documents on figures that have been historically "left out" of the historical narrative, the students will help fill the gaps in the archive, be active in the creation of new curriculum, and gain a better understanding of marginalization and the power of historical memory in the process.

Countering the Threat From States and Non-State Actors
Short Description: The danger posed by nuclear weapons and fissile materials is ever present. The end of the Cold War and the significant reduction in the size of Russian and U.S. nuclear stockpiles did not change this fact of life. There are now nine states that possess nuclear weapons – the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea – and the number of nuclear weapons in the world in 2019 is estimated to be almost 14,000. In addition, the production of highly-enriched uranium and plutonium continues in several places, while more than 440 civilian nuclear facilities around the world are in operation, posing their own particular risks. When one also considers that non-state actors constitute a significant global danger and the potential for nuclear terrorism, it is clear the need for nuclear security remains paramount. There is no other type of weapon that comes close to doing the level of damage that nuclear weapons can inflict. Data dashboard

I have spent the past five or so years giving conference presentations on the topics of learning disabilities, technology, use of visuals and media. I am a seasoned teacher of Adult Basic Education within Corrections. I am hoping that someone can find a few ideas here they may want to build into their own curriculum. These are PowerPoint collections mostly. The conferences I shared them at were CEA, or Correctional Education Association and our State GED / Literacy Conference.
