Prerequisites: English 101 ready, Survey of Justice (Justice 101)
Course Objectives: The objectives of this course coincide with those in the College Catalog and are supplemented as follows:
1) To introduce students to the principles of criminal law; and
2) To introduce students to the differences between civil and criminal law; and
3) To introduce students to the changes taking place in criminal law as the result of changing technological environment.
Textbook: Wallace and Roberson, Principles of Criminal Law, 3rd Edition (Allyn & Bacon, New York, 2005)
Attendance: If students miss more than two sessions they may be dropped from the course.
Disability Policy: If you require assistance with any condition or disability you should consult the College catalog
for direction. The Center on Disability is located at M1-22B and may be reached by telephone at 215-751-8307. I urge you
to consult with that office immediately. Unless you are working with the Center, we may not be able to provide the assistance
you need.
Counseling Department: The Counseling Department is located in office W2-2. It is a great resource for students that
may be struggling with problems of a personal nature. The staff is highly trained and very helpful and is available on a
walk-in basis.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is a serious offense which has been made easier by the World Wide Web. Very simply, it is a form
of theft; that is, stealing someone’s work and passing it off as your own. This theft does not require you to physically
steal someone’s paper, but most commonly, the offense is done using the World Wide Web. While searching, students
find an article that covers their topic and then copy it and use it as their own.
If you are discovered having plagiarized, you will: (1) fail the assignment; and (2) fail the course; and (3) I will
turn the matter over to the Dean of Student Affairs for disciplinary action. The College and our program take this offense
very seriously and so should you.
