Criminal Justice Mission Statement
The Division of Criminal Justice prepares students for professional careers in criminal justice, criminology, public administration and related fields by applying multidisciplinary and comparative social science to understand, predict and explain crime, and contribute to the development of informed public policy as well as individual decision making. The program develops students intellectually, technically and ethically, while providing a comprehensive appreciation for the complexity of crime and public and private efforts to foster and maintain safe communities and ensure justice.
