Current ClassesCJS 280 - Statistics for Criminology and Justice StudiesWe'll explore the statistical techniques used in research by criminologists, sociologists, and other social scientists who study crime and delinquency. We will learn about the foundations of inferential statistics, but we will also focus on techniques for cleaning, managing, and analyzing data. Finally, students will also conduct basic statistical analyses.
CJS 310 - Juvenile JusticeWe'll explore juvenile delinquency and the juvenile justice system from a variety of viewpoints. We'll also examine how the juvenile justice system developed, the problems the system was/is expected to address, how these problems have changed through time, and the programs used to prevent and control delinquency (and their effectiveness.) This class emphasizes the role of youth mentoring in preventing delinquency and reducing contact with the juvenile justice system, because a primary objective of the class is to prepare you to serve as a youth mentor in the MOSAIC Youth Mentoring internship the subsequent semester.
CJS 452ME- Mentoring in CJSThis course will prepare you for success in your future career in criminology and justice studies by increasing your understanding of mentorship and restorative justice approaches related to the field. The course will provide opportunities to learn about restorative justice approaches, practice professional skills, and apply effective mentoring strategies to real-world scenarios and with highly diverse populations.
