Lauren's Blog!

Hello there fellow classmates! I am really starting to realize that this class will not be easy... What a bummer. In the future I wish to be involved in criminal justice.

I really like the show CSI and i feel like it would be a very adventurous. There are a lot of interesting things about criminal justice, they give you tons of yummy yummy facts. I truly feel like this is a career that will make me happy and never make me bored. Yes I know that it also involves some paper work. Okay maybe a lot of paper work but to be out on the field would make all the paper work totally worth it. Here let me give you a description about criminal justice.

Criminal Justice is the study of the causes, consequences and control of crime. Like other new and developing fields, criminal justice is difficult to define, as it draws from a number of different disciplines, including psychology, public administration, philosophy, political science, sociology and law.
The program leading to the Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice is designed to acquaint pre-service and in-service students with the principles and practices of criminal justice in America. Although the department’s curriculum allows for the development of depth in one of the subject’s substantive subsystems (i.e., law enforcement, courts or corrections), the overriding objective is to familiarize students with activities in all the above areas.

The department is both academic and professional in that it is an interdisciplinary attempt to relate intellectual issues and practitioner perspectives to the challenge of crime in a free society. In this regard, the department provides preparation for employment with a related agency and/or further study (e.g., law school).

Well i hope that helped you understand more about the Criminal Justice program. Untill next time =]
