Criminal Justice
Criminal Justice
The criminal justice field goes far beyond law enforcement. It combines law, sociology, political science, history, psychology, economics, geography, political science, philosophy, and the natural sciences. Its interdisciplinary nature allows practitioners to find solutions to contemporary problems and complex global issues.
SKILLS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE
When you graduate from STAC’s criminal justice program, you’ll understand the relationships between society, crime, and criminal behavior, as well as the workings of the criminal justice system. And you’ll be able to apply your knowledge and skills to modern problems, practices, and policies. Just as importantly, you’ll develop an ethical commitment to social justice, become an informed citizen, and help protect and ensure a democracy concerned with fair and respectful treatment of all citizens.
