3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Approval of Department Chair. Provides practical experience in various areas of the criminal justice system. Each individual student will be supervised by an instructor of criminal justice. Only one independent study will be allowed and must be approved by the department chair.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CRIM 1023 Introduction to Criminal Justice. Principles of administration and management in their application to law enforcement; a study of the police organizational structure. Responsibilities and interrelationships of administrative, line, and staff services.

3.00 Credits
This course will acquaint the student with an awareness and the necessary skills required to conduct a traffic crash investigation. The course will provide the students with a working knowledge of what evidence and information are needed upon arriving at the scene of a traffic crash and how to safely obtain that needed information without further endangering the safety of themselves, the victims or the community for which they work. Students will be taught how to measure, photograph, document physical evidence and other data from the crash scene; proper interview techniques; understand basic mathematical equations used in crash investigations; make reliable speed estimates through skid marks and critical speed scuff marks; understand basic skills involved in sketching and drawing; understand principles of use of a traffic template; draw accurate diagrams depicting the crash scene; using the traffic template as a nomograph; develop and understand basic human emotions and factors that may occur prior to, during and after a crash; and cite court cases that affect police officers and other government actions concerning traffic crashes and citizen safety. The student will further be trained in how to transfer the evidence and information from the traffic crash scene to reports and diagrams, as well as be instructed how to present this information in both civil and criminal courts.

3.00 Credits
Course is designed to provide the student the training necessary to complete a technical crash investigation. At this advanced level of training, the student will be able to recognize, interpret, and prepare physical evidence for further use in the reconstruction of the crash. At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to examine vehicle lamps to determine if the lamps were illuminated at the time of collision; explain formulas used for speed estimates from skid marks, kinetic energy, airborne situations, scuff marks, conservation of linear momentum; explain physical evidence, vehicle dynamics, Newton's Laws of Motion, basic physics and mathematical concepts in their relationship to the crash investigation; gain knowledge to the concept of time, distance and motion; examine vehicle tires to determine if they contributed to the crash; explain the concept of hydroplaning as it applies to vehicle movement; use the latest photography, video recording and computer imaging concepts in their presentations and evidence in court; understand the proper use of geometry and trigonometry in crash investigations; understand uses of airborne equations in crash investigations; understand vehicle damage analysis and its use in determining collision movements and forces involved; use conservation of linear momentum and vectors and how they apply to traffic investigations.

3.00 Credits
This course will provide the student skills necessary to complete a crash investigation to such a level of proficiency that reconstruction and analysis of the collision will be possible. This course will assist and prepare the student to testify in court at the expert level. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to explain and demonstrate minimum speed equations, kinetic energy equations, airborne speed equations, radius equations, critical speed equation, and conservation of momentum equations, explain Newton's Laws of Motion, what kinetic energy is, what potential energy is and how these energies relate to minimum speed. The student will be able to complete a time, distance and motion analysis and relate to a particular crash investigation and reconstruction; evaluate and interpret information from the initial investigation, follow-up reports and diagrams; understand the necessity of geometry, algebra and trigonometry and their application in crash investigation; understand basic applications to be used in reconstructing motorcycle and commercial motor vehicle crash investigations; taught special situation and use of equations involving lane change and critical turn away; application of the theory and use of vector analysis; and students will be involved with field exercises and application to show that they have participated in and can conduct their own imperial study in the areas of pedestrian walking studies and motor vehicle acceleration and deceleration testing.

3.00 Credits
This course is designed for the newly assigned Internal Affairs Officer, the experienced Internal Affairs Officer who wants to update his/her skills, or the administrator/ manager who wants to understand how Internal Affairs should work. It is further designed to take into account the needs of the small and medium size police agencies as well as the larger ones. At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to define discipline and its relationship to organizational effectiveness; identify types of misconduct most likely to occur in police departments; understand the process involved in receiving and assigning the complaint for investigation; understand the steps involved in preparing a plan for the investigation of a personnel complaint; understand the steps involved in investigating a personnel complaint; identify activities required for properly preparing a plan for an interview; understand the steps involved in conducting an interview; and understand how constitutional law relates to the Internal Affairs process. Students will also be required to complete practical exercises.

3.00 Credits
Course is designed to prepare students to be trainers of law enforcement officers in the use of DWI Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) to meet training certification requirements recognized by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Agency (NHTSA). Course covers teaching methods, identification of domains of learning in the context of DWI enforcement; documents that make up the standard curriculum packages for the SFST School; content and format of the lesson plans for the SFST School, four-step process of teaching and learning; characteristics of a good SFST instructor; instructor preparation tasks for any session of the SFST School; appropriate questioning techniques to enhance students' involvement in presentations; and the use of visual aids to improve effectiveness of presentations.

3.00 Credits
Course will give the student an awareness and the necessary skills to conduct an investigation of a commercial vehicle crash at the scene, with emphasis on evidence gathering techniques and the importance of physical evidence in crash reconstruction litigation.
-
3.00 Credits
Course is designed to be an objective presentation of the many diverse views and perspectives that characterize the study of juvenile delinquency reflecting its interdisciplinary nature. The course maintains a balance of theory, law, policy, and practice.
-
3.00 Credits
Course is designed to provide students in criminology, criminal justice, pre-law, political science, and paralegal studies a concise yet comprehensive introduction to substantive criminal law. This course is appropriate for the criminal justice professional who needs to better understand the legal environment in which they must function.
