Uri Criminal Justice Major Requirements

Result 1.2: Localization and interpretation of research related to discrimination in the criminal justice system Many paths to follow Both as practitioners in the field and as PhD students, our YAC alumni have a range of options and a variety of paths. CCJ graduates have worked for government agencies, not-for-profit organizations and industry. Alumni who completed further studies were accepted into graduate programs in criminal justice, cybersecurity, law, social work, and psychology, among others. Inside and outside the classroom, YAC faculty analyze all facets of crime and criminal justice – from why people engage in criminal behaviour to the response of our police, justice and correctional systems. In your courses, you benefit from their expertise. Outside of the classroom, you can participate in research projects and participate in experiential learning options, such as internships in law enforcement and government agencies, social services, and advocacy, among others. Where applicable and with the approval of the Department Chair, students may substitute one of their elective courses listed above with practicum credits (GWS 300, PSC 375/376, PSY 305 or SOC 477 (497)) or independent study credits (CCJ 485, GWS 450, PSC 455/456, PSY 489 or SOC 498/499).

Result 2.1: Explain the correlates and causes of different forms of criminal behaviour and victimization In criminology and criminal justice, we study these and other questions with an interdisciplinary approach drawn from different fields of the social sciences and humanities.

In these perspectives, we examine how social issues and our lived experiences influence our understanding of crime and criminal justice policy and practice. Together, we seek answers – in the classroom, in our research, and through experiential learning – always with justice in mind. Students must take a course chosen from the following. If students are dual majors with ECN, PSC, PSY or SOC, this course will be accepted for the CCJ major, but credits must be constituted in a different category. Interdisciplinary solutions Crime is a complex social problem. Therefore, we approach criminology and criminal justice from an interdisciplinary perspective. Additionally, as a CCJ major, you can supplement the core program with elective courses from other College of Arts & Sciences majors to further broaden your perspective — and if desired, you can add a minor or other major in a related discipline that can open new doors in new places. Result 3.1: Summarize and interpret criminology and criminal justice research Why do people behave criminally? What policies, practices and institutions are currently in place to combat crime – and what do they reveal about us as a society? Do they get justice? What does justice mean to us? Our goal is to enable our graduates to meaningfully consider, contribute and rethink the discourse and decisions about crime and justice. To do this, the CCJ department makes conscious choices about its work and remains committed to ongoing professional growth and community development.
