Welcome to studying the history of social welfare and criminal justice in the United States for the next eight weeks.

You will learn about the concept of “worthy poor,” reforms to institutions such as orphanages and penitentiaries, shifting responses to immigrants, the influence of abolition and the civil rights movements, and benefits to veterans and their families. You will have the opportunity to research a topic that interests you in this field of study. The course will conclude with you examining your own perceptions in light of historical trends.
The purpose of the course is to explore the foundations of practices we take for granted today. We will also address how history is written and how current practices in our communities have developed. This online course allows us to view documentaries, read focused articles, and relate our own experiences to 350 years of history we are studying.
