Job Description:

bringing together scholars from law, public administration,
psychology, sociology, and related fields to create a program that
looked beyond the individual to explore the nature of crime and the
entire criminal justice system. The School also offers robust
Master's and Bachelor's programs, and faculty and students benefit

Policy. Since its inception, the School has remained
