An understanding of crime and criminal justice as part of a complex system.
An understanding of crime and criminal justice as part of a complex system.
Our students develop skills for evaluating and addressing the causes of crime and are familiar with strategies and approaches aimed at prevention and intervention, not just enforcement, at multiple levels of the social ecology. Core courses in social deviance, criminology, and methods of social research, and electives like juvenile delinquency, victimology, criminal justice administration, and crime and communities enhance their ability to think critically about crime and understand the importance of using empirically supported, theoretically-grounded approaches and programs. Our students recognize the need to work at multiple levels of the social ecology to solve crime and related problems.

Students entering criminal justice and related professions today need to see criminal justice agencies as part of the communities they serve instead of an outside agency interacting with the community and its members. We have a passionate commitment to ensuring our graduates are well-prepared to work collaboratively with individuals, groups, and communities to address crime and delinquency problems. Through coursework on relations in law enforcement, the courts, and corrections, and electives like juvenile justice, juvenile delinquency, family violence, and crime and communities, our students learn values, strategies, and approaches for forging effective partnerships between criminal justice agencies and communities. They learn to evaluate their effects on crime, justice, and quality of life for individuals and communities.

The foundations for being a culturally competent public servant.
The foundations for being a culturally competent public servant.
We want our students to be successful in their careers, and as educators in criminology and criminal justice it is our responsibility to ensure our graduates have critical thinking skills and are culturally competent. Our students take coursework in sociology, racial and ethnic diversity, and criminal justice ethics. They learn about social inequalities and gain an understanding of their history and impact on communities and individuals. And, they think and talk about issues like cultural understanding and recognition of implicit biases. They learn values and approaches for developing ethical frameworks for addressing the complex problem of crime. Understandings on intersections between race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and other forms of diversity and stratification with criminal justice are woven throughout the academic curriculum. Students gain real-world field experience working with diverse populations and creating relationships to solve crime problems, improve public safety, and enhance quality of life for individuals.

We know there is a need for programs that focus on more than enforcement, and we aim to develop students’ knowledge and skills beyond the traditional “police science”. We train our students to recognize the importance of involving academics, community members, and practitioners to develop effective strategies and approaches to the complex problem of crime.
