I just wanted to take a brief moment to recognize the 7th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center towers on September 11th, 2001. The injured and those who were lost and their survivors are in my thoughts today.
Intro to Criminal Justice #1: Justice and Public Safety Tuesday, Sep 9 2008
Delaware Tech and Introduction to Criminal Justice and Rob Wiltbank and Undergraduate 9:58 pm
Benjamin Franklin was once quoted as saying, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” There’s a balance that must be struck between maintaing individual rights while balancing them against the interest of public safety. In this, our innaugural episode of Introduction to Criminal Justice, we’ll be discussing the basic concepts of criminal justice and the judicial process.
I would like to remind our listeners that this podcast is part of our new undergraduate content — it is a 100 level course for the Criminal Justice program at Delaware Tech. We hope you enjoy our new shows! When you’re done listening, we ask that you stop by our website at http://www.lifeofalawstudent.com/ and check us out. On September 15th, we’re asking all of our listeners to click on the Podcast Awards banner on our website and nominate us for the Best Education Podcast… With close to 450 episodes, we feel we’ve earned it and hope that you do, too!
