CRJ 201 INTRODUCTION TO CRIMINAL LAWA comprehensive introduction to the substantive law of crimes. Topics include: constitutional limits on behavior control; elements of crimes; offenses against people, property, public morality; criminal responsibility and defenses.

Criminal JusticeBachelor of ScienceLaw and Order. Criminal Minds. CSI. Television shows with legal and criminal themes only give a glimpse of what Criminal Justice is all about, but in the real world, crimes and mysteries are not resolved neatly in an hour.

The Criminal Justice program is based on advice and input from the area’s top law enforcement experts -- police officers, judges, attorneys and corrections officials. As a result, it is the most comprehensive and current program offered in Western New York. With the need for qualified professionals to respond to the growing threats of terrorism, our students are prepared to enter the world of security and enforcement.

Criminal Justice students are taught by professionals currently working in the field. Through classroom and field experiences, students learn the underlying theories and principles of criminology, the elements of crimes, the details of the criminal justice system, and the roles of people within the legal system.

Strong emphasis is placed on helping students gain a practical, working knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedure, two essential areas for those entering the Criminal Justice field. Criminal investigation is also taught through lecture and lab work, which introduces students to the nuances of collecting, preserving and analyzing evidence.

As a Criminal Justice major, you may find field experience opportunities in law enforcement agencies, public defenders’ offices, private security firms, and pretrial services. Employment projections show that Criminal Justice is an area of current growth and future need.

The Criminal Justice program provides rigorous training to students desiring a career in law enforcement, or those eventually obtaining a graduate degree. The College’s goal is to produce graduates who, having been trained in procedures and law by working professionals, are ready to embark on promising and expanding careers in law enforcement agencies.

The College stresses the importance of gaining work experience that is related to a student’s major program of study. In the Criminal Justice program, students have the opportunity to fulfill six credit hours worth of hands-on learning through field experiences. This aspect of a student’s education involves spending up to 120 hours in the field. As a Criminal Justice major, you may find experi-ence opportunities in law enforcement agencies, public defenders offices, private security firms, and pretrial services.
