ABOUT THE COLLEGE

Mission

The College of Criminal Justice prepares the students for professional and research careers in criminal justice, criminology, and related fields by applying multidisciplinary and comparative social science to understand, predict, and explain crime and contribute to the development of public policy within urban communities. Using an active learning approach, the College seeks to develop its students intellectually and ethically, while providing them with a keen appreciation for the complexities of crime and for public and private efforts to make communities safer and ensure justice.
