About the Professor

I am originally from the UK where I took a BA (Hons), LL.M and Ph.D. in Law. I also hold an M. Phil in History from Lyon University, France.

I have authored a number of books and scholarly articles. Recent books include; The History of Criminal Justice (5th Edition) 2010 (Reissued 2015), Drugs and Drug Trafficking 2012, 2014 and 2016, Crime and Policing Crime 2013 and 2015, Let’s Talk Criminal Justice 2013 and 2015.

Course Description



This course focuses on understanding the establishment and application of the Common Law in England and its subsequent transition to Colonial America. During the period circa 1100 and 1750 the criminal laws of England underwent significant change in response to numerous social, political and religious upheaval. A number of these legal provisions were transported to colonial America where despite the desire to create a new legal order the practicality of implementing known legal measures meant that the arbitrary (and sanguinary) nature of English justice survived in the New World for more than one hundred years. The course will explore the uptake of English laws and the adaption of those laws into the formation of a distinct American Common Law. The crime of Witchcraft will be used as a means of exploring the approach taken towards curbing the practice of this behavior in England and the American Colonies. Benefit of clergy, sanctuary, abjuration and outlawry were significant legal excuses available during the development of the common law and some of these pleas were utilized in America. These too will be discussed in detail. The course concludes with a summary of major developments in law, crime and punishment in America from 1776 to the turn of the 20th century.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Demonstrate a working understanding of the origins and evolution of the criminal justice systems of England and Colonial America

Articulate an understanding of the nature and characteristics of crime and punishment as it developed from spiritual to secular

Explain the role of the canon law in stimulating the establishment of an English Common Law

Identify and explain the different approaches taken towards dealing with witches in England and Colonial America

Discuss rules concerning the use of the ‘Reading Test’ and how this transitioned into a mechanism for the transportation of felons to the American Colonies

Identify and explain similarities in the approach taken towards the punishment of certain classes of criminals in England and Colonial America

Develop a critical awareness of the history of ideas surrounding the interconnectivity of the legal systems of England and Colonial America

Understand why it is necessary to develop critical discussion and analysis of the legal historical issues within this course to claim ‘mastery’

Assemble a body of argument that questions the historical interpretation of exculpatory pleas

Teaching Philosophy



In addition to the formal learning outcomes there is a bigger issue, that issue is developing creative people. It is my intention that during this course you will gain the confidence to do well. A university education is not about trying to mold you it is the reverse; it is about trying to help you escape a mold.

“The capacity to think about one’s thinking -to ponder metacognitively- and to correct it in progress is far more worthy than remembering any name, date, or number”. (Bain, K., What The Best College Teachers Do, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2004, pp.95).

The decision to take this course is yours. Once you have made that decision you are responsible to every other course participant in the community of learners that makes up this class. If you are not prepared to read extensively, if you are not ready to reflect upon your progression, if you are not prepared to be modest about your academic ability, if you do not have a thirst for knowledge. This course may not be for you.

Please read the following section thoroughly

A master’s degree demonstrates a significant level of expertise in an area of study. It is expected that upon graduation you will possess advanced knowledge and higher level skills that indicate mastery of the study undertaken. For example, you should be confident that you can demonstrate a critical awareness of the history of ideas and the social, legal and political theories that have influenced criminal justice. You should be able to develop critical discussion and identify the most appropriate theories and methodologies to support your contentions. You will demonstrate your ability to work independently and put forward new ideas and you will be able to successfully undertake research that leads to measurable outcomes.

Before embarking upon this course please consider that it is a legitimate expectation of a graduate student that you have the ability to express yourself in a sophisticated, articulate, literate manner. This means I believe that you should possess the ability to write. By this I mean no spelling mistakes, no sentences without verbs, you use punctuation appropriately and for its purpose, you do not submit words that are used incorrectly and, most importantly of all, what you have written is clear; it needs to make sense. To these ends your work needs to address the issue, contain evidence, data and references to support your opinion (I will not accept a Discussion Board submission with fewer than six relevant sources, a mid-term paper with fewer than twelve relevant sources and a final paper with fewer than twenty relevant sources. These are a minimum not the guarantee of of an ‘A’). And you need to show that you have developed and pursued an argument and it is



written solely by you. If you submit a DB or paper that contains spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, sentences without subjects and verbs or words used incorrectly I will not grade that piece of work. It will receive a zero. Once a paper has achieved the minimum standard acceptable to be graded then you should be submitting it. I will then grade your paper on the basis of the criteria stated above.

As an indication of how your work will be graded the following may be of some help to you. This is not intended to be an absolute, grading papers is always (partially) subjective.

Sample Grading Rubric

Level of Achievement Comprehension

Very Good Pass

Demonstrates complete understanding of the issue/s. Supports position with numerous, relevant sources. Backs argument with justifications and authority. Uses informed ideas to support conclusion. Clear evidence of critical discussion. No errors.

Good Pass Demonstrates an adequate understanding of the issue. Uses minimum number of sources to back position. Limited number of ideas utilized to support conclusion. Overall less engaging and thorough than an a Very Good Pass.

Adequate to Pass

Does not demonstrate an accurate understanding of issue/s. Makes minimum effort to use sources and data. Does not demonstrate informed ideas that illuminate the answers but makes an effort.

DeficientInaccuracies. Minimal effort demonstrated. Does not demonstrate ability to develop ideas or higher level learning. Insufficient sources cited.

SCHOLARLY EXPECTATIONS

All works submitted for credit must be original works created by the scholar uniquely for the class. It is considered inappropriate and unethical, particularly at the graduate level, to make duplicate submissions of a single work for credit in multiple classes, unless specifically requested by the instructor.



Work submitted at the graduate level is expected to demonstrate higher-order thinking skills and be of significantly higher quality than work produced at the undergraduate level.

Course PoliciesThe Messaging Section in Blackboard will be used for primary communication to the class as a whole. I advise you check this section frequently.

It is your responsibility to utilize a computer system that works and is compatible with the UNT online system/Blackboard Learn. This is especially critical during examination times. It is recommended that you take your exams on the UNT campus if possible. If that is not possible, it is recommended that you avoid waiting until the last minute to take your exam in case problems arise. Only problems as the result of the UNT online system/Blackboard Learn will result in modification of due dates.

Make Up Policy

There are no make-up DB’s, mid-term or final in this class with the exception of authorized absences according to University policies. Prof. Johnstone reserves the right to consider extreme circumstances and modify this rule. Those in athletics, those who are absent for religious holidays, and/or those involved in other school supported activities that require being absent from class will be allowed make up if proper procedures are followed in requesting an excused absence. You are required to submit written documentation in advance that you will be away from class for the absence to be excused (e.g., traveling for a basketball game).

There is absolutely no make-up for assignments turned in late unless authorized as a result of university related absence or through prior consultation and approval by Professor Johnstone. Assignments as a result of authorized absences must be turned in within 3 days of returning from the authorized absence.

Only problems as the result of the UNT online system/Blackboard Learn will result in modification of due dates.

Participation, Preparation and Behavior



To be successful at learning and understanding the material in this class, it is essential that you read and complete the assigned material and engage in thoughtful online discussions. Your active participation, along with your willingness to engage in thoughtful online discussions regarding correctional systems will be taken into account at all times during the semester.

An online classroom, at least during times of online discussion, is a place to express ideas, opinions, and engage in thoughtful discussions. Students will respect the views and opinions of others at all times or their status in the course will be re-examined. In sum, simply be appropriate during online interactions. Each student brings unique insight and perspectives, and that can make for a very interesting and lively discussion forum, but just please be appropriate and respectful of others.

Please review the undergraduate/graduate catalog concerning conduct that adversely affects the university community.

Miscellaneous

The material posted online is the personal intellectual property of Prof. Johnstone or that of the University of North Texas. You may not utilize the material for other than class purposes.

Virtual Classroom Citizenship

The same guidelines that apply to traditional classes should be observed in the virtual classroom environment. Please use proper netiquette when interacting with class members and your professor.

Incompletes

Incomplete grades will only be assigned in the event of an unforeseen documented emergency followed by successful completion of the assigned material.

dishonesty found in the Student Handbook. The content of the Handbook applies to this course. Additionally, the following specific requirements will be expected in this class: Students found to be cheating, plagiarizing, fabricating information or citations, or facilitating academic dishonesty will receive a zero grade for the course.

If you are in doubt regarding the requirements, please consult with me before you complete any requirements of the course.

ADA Policy

The University of North Texas makes reasonable academic accommodation for students with disabilities. Students seeking accommodation must first register with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) to verify their eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide you with an accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private discussion regarding your specific needs in a course. You may request accommodations at any time, however, ODA notices of accommodation should be provided as early as possible in the semester to avoid any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of accommodation for every semester and must meet with each faculty member prior to implementation in each class. For additional information see the Office of Disability Accommodation website at http://www.unt.edu/oda. You may also contact them by phone at 940.565.4323.

Add/Drop Policy

Important Notice for F-1 Students taking Distance Education Courses:

To read detailed Immigration and Customs Enforcement regulations for F-1 students taking online courses, please go to the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations website at http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov. The specific portion concerning distance education courses is located at "Title 8 CFR 214.2 Paragraph (f) (6) (i) (G)” and can be found buried within this document:http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/get-cfr.cgi?TITLE=8&PART=214&SECTION=2&TYPE=TEXT

(G) For F–1 students enrolled in classes for credit or classroom hours, no more than the equivalent of one class or three credits per session, term, semester, trimester, or quarter may be counted toward the full course of study requirement if the class is taken on-line or through distance education and does not require the student's physical attendance for classes, examination or other purposes integral to completion of the class. An on-line or distance education course is a course that is offered principally through the use of television, audio, or computer transmission including open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, microwave, or satellite, audio conferencing, or computer conferencing. If the F–1 student's course of study is in a language study program, no on-line or distance education classes may be considered to count toward a student's full course of study requirement.

University of North Texas Compliance

To comply with immigration regulations, an F-1 visa holder within the United States may need to engage in an on-campus experiential component for this course. This component (which must be approved in advance by the instructor) can include activities such as taking an on-campus exam, participating in an on-campus lecture or lab activity, or other on-campus experience integral to the completion of this course.

If such an on-campus activity is required, it is the student’s responsibility to do the following:

(1) Submit a written request to the instructor for an on-campus experiential component within one week of the start of the course.

(2) Ensure that the activity on campus takes place and the instructor documents it in writing with a notice sent to the International Student and Scholar Services Office. ISSS has a form available that you may use for this purpose.

Because the decision may have serious immigration consequences, if an F-1 student is unsure about his or her need to participate in an on-campus experiential component for this course, s/he should contact the UNT International Student and Scholar Services Office (telephone 940-565-2195 or email [email protected]) to get clarification before the one-week deadline.
