About the CCJC

The Criminology and Criminal Justice Collective (CCJC) was founded in 2020 by a group of individuals dedicated to sharing their passion with others. Sponsored by the Criminology, Law, and Criminal Justice Program, the Criminology and Criminal Justice Collective at the University of Michigan - Dearborn focuses on sharing knowledge through experience, philanthropy, and discussion in order to facilitate communication across campus.

Members can learn more about the criminal justice system by attending events both on and off campus through service projects, guest speakers, and field trips. The CCJC community also strives to create memories through various social events and activities throughout the semester. Furthermore, students are able to record and host their own podcast episodes through CCJC's Craving Crimes podcast found on Spotify!
