Background

The Department of Criminal Justice strives to generate and disseminate knowledge and information that is theoretically driven and policy relevant for the fields of criminal justice and criminology.

Our faculty accomplishes this by:

  • engaging in research and scholarly activities to address issues of crime and justice affecting diverse populations in urban settings;

  • producing students who are critical and ethical thinkers, knowledgeable about the issues of crime and justice, and prepared for leadership positions in public and private sector agencies that address crime and justice problems;

  • collaborating with public and private agencies through education, training, and research ventures that enhance our understanding of, and response to, issues associated with crime and the administration of justice.

Through these activities, the Department strives to promote basic principles of justice that enhance the criminal justice profession and benefit the community at large.
