Criminal Justice Faculty

The academic preparation of the CJ faculty is interdisciplinary with individual faculty members holding terminal degrees in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, law, and public administration. Our faculty members borrow freely from all appropriate disciplines to seek to understand crime and delinquency in their social context, both to satisfy scholarly interests and to improve the application of knowledge about crime to the solution of social problems.
