About the Field
The field of Crime & Justice Studies is an interdisciplinary field of study and incredibly varied. Knowledge specific to the discipline relies upon research from fields such as sociology, law, history, psychology, and political science. It encompasses Federal, state and local entities in order to control and deter crime. The principal agencies charged with these responsibilities are law enforcement, the judiciary, and correction and rehabilitation facilities. Our program offers classes for students who are interested in understanding the responses, causes and impact that crime has on society as the field is constantly changing in order to meet new demands of evolving communities. Graduates from the program acquire jobs in law enforcement, private sectors, courts, research, juvenile justice system, teaching, forensics and a variety of other fields.
