  • CRJ 326: Criminal Justice Field Experience Seminar

    3.00 Credits
    Cedar Crest College

    The Field Experience Seminar is designed to assist the student in processing the experiences one has at the field experience assignment. The seminar is taken concurrently with the field experience and provides an opportunity to integrate and reconcile theoretical concepts and principles learned in other social science and criminal justice courses and apply them in working within the criminal justice profession. As students enter the field as interns their concerns will be more on practical issues. As a result, the course is designed as an open discussion forum allowing the professor and students to examine practical issues and discuss their integration with classroom concepts. The integration of these concepts is the central purpose of the course. Students will be asked to link professional events to theoretical concepts and will be asked to examine these events within the context of professional and personal ethics.

  • CRJ 331: Leadership for Women in Criminal Justice

    3.00 Credits
    Cedar Crest College

    The Cedar Crest curriculum has been carefully designed to produce female graduates who are well prepared to assume leadership roles in the criminal justice profession. This capstone course for the criminal justice major is the culmination of that experience and is intended to allow each student to develop a greater understanding of the challenges faced by the women who choose to pursue these positions. During the course of the curriculum, careful attention is given to developing the student’s critical thinking and problem solving skills in an attempt to better prepare them for a role in criminal justice management. A student’s preparation would be incomplete, however, without an understanding of the challenges and barriers faced by women in this profession. To accomplish this goal, students will be required to produce a research paper examining the unique challenges faced by women who attempt to pursue management positions in any given sector of the profession. Each student will be asked to choose a specific occupation of interest and conduct a literature review examining the role women assume in that profession and the obstacles they must overcome to excel. Additionally, each student must perform field research designed to validate the literature review by discussing with professionals the challenges they have faced in their pursuit of managerial responsibility. By requiring such a project, Cedar Crest strives to produce professionals that understand the challenges posed by such a demanding profession, and by doing so, will better prepare them to assume higher levels of responsibility.
