Readings for JANUARY 25

READINGS From Jim Thomas 

Read Chapters 1-3 of Adler, et al (our text)

Then, do this ideology quiz and be prepared to
discuss ideology

Some crime stats


Then, we will continue on the history of law and our own system:

(Purloined) Excerpts from Hammurabi's Code
Iroquois Constitution (Circa 1500 AD)
The Magna Carta
Soci of Law notes (This will be a class handout)


(NOTE: Just skim the long historical soci of law notes; they are rough and
poorly formatted. Just get a smattering of the basics--about a 15 minute
skim is enough)

I will have questions for group discussion next week, but for now, read
the historical material with this in mind: How does our CJ system
reject a PROCESS rather than a THING?
