CJUS 391 - Practicum in Criminal Justice

Institution:

Xavier University

Subject:

Description:

A required, non-classroom, on-thejob experience which provides the student the opportunity to observe correctional, law enforcement, or court settings; relate to professionals in the field; and obtain “hands-on” experience which cannot be obtained as effectivelyany other way. This required course strongly complements CJUS 103 Introduction to Corrections: Practice and Procedures; CJUS 260 Current Issues in Criminal Justice; CJUS 264 Overview of Contemporary Corrections; and CJUS 321 Juvenile Justice in a Changing Society, by providing actual experience in these areas. This practicum requiring 300 clock hours is one of the very major ingredients and one of the best experiences provided to the student in the entire program. The opportunity presented for them to integrate the theory and concepts presented in the class room with day to day reality and actual practice of the profession is invaluable.
