10 cp
Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation A variety of teaching and learning strategies such as lectures, tutorials, workshops, laboratory classes and self-directed packages may be utilised to introduce and explore the contexts of justice studies. Duration: 3 hours per week for twelve weeks or equivalent.

The unit recognises the impact of disadvantage of particular individuals and groups in the justice system. The nature of marginalisation, factors contributing to and maintaining disadvantage, and the consequences of experiencing disadvantage will be analysed. Particular attention will be paid to the unique experience of Indigenous Australians in the justice system. In addition the unit will address the issues that arise for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Attention will also be given to the issues for women and young people in the system and the emergent issue for older people in institutional environments.
