School of Criminal Justice
We examine political, economic and cultural patterns that shape definitions of crime and influence the policy choices about how to respond to certain categories of crime. We also study social and personal forces that lead to criminal conduct, and we analyze the organization and operation of crime control systems. Particular emphasis is placed on the interactions among the many agencies which comprise criminal justice systems and on the relationships between these systems and other facets of society.

Myren, first School of Criminal Justice Dean, 1924-2012 |
National Death Penalty Archive Adds Baldus Papers |
Recent study finds 1 in 3 arrested by age 23 |
|
It is with great sadness that the School of Criminal Justice announces the passing of Dr. Richard A. Myren. Dr. Myren was the School's founding dean and he will forever hold a special place in our history. |
View the event photos. On April 20, the National Death Penalty Archive unveiled the addition of the late David Baldus' papers at an event in Professor Baldus' honor that also celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the McCleskey v. Kemp Supreme Court decision. |
Professor Shawn Bushway co-authored a recent study, “Cumulative Prevalence of Arrest From Ages 8 to 23 in a National Sample,” published in the January 2012 issue of Pediatrics. The study found that America’s youth are arrested at an alarming rate -- nearly 1 in 3 people will be arrested by the time they are 23 years old. It has garnered significant national and international media attention, including the New York Times, USA Today, the Daily Mail (United Kingdom) and Xinhua (a news agency in China). |
