Criminal Justice Policy: Corrections and Sentencing

Classroom SRH 3.314 (third floor)
Few policy issues have had as big an impact on the Texas political or social landscape as criminal justice, and fewer still have such a hold on the popular imagination. Yet it is only in the last decade or so that debate about criminal justice policy has started to take account of the financial and social costs of our state's incarceration policies. Time and again, public officials at all levels and in all branches of government find themselves confronting the thorny problems presented by the policy choices the state has made in the criminal justice arena, and by constantly shifting political winds.

Directions:
The LBJ School is in Sid Richardson Hall (SRH), a three-story white building between Red River Street and the large, white marble LBJ Library. The LBJ School is located in the northern half of Sid Richardson Hall. There are entrances at the middle of the school on the parking lot side of the building and on the southern end of the building, which corresponds to a breezeway that connects the parking lot to the plaza surrounding the LBJ Library.

Parking:
There is street and metered parking available around the LBJ School. Alternatively, you may want to park in the Manor Garage (about a 5 minute walk to the LBJ School with an hourly fee if no parking pass). A lot of students either carpool or use public transportation or the UT Shuttle.
