The Department of Criminal Justice/Security, a diverse learning
community of educators and students in an urban setting, is dedicated
to a multi-disciplinary education, merging theory and practice
in service to society and the dynamic nature of criminal justice.
The
Department of Criminal Justice/Security is the only academic program
in New Jersey that has completed an Approved Program Review by the Academy
of Criminal Justice Sciences. The Department sponsors the Peter W. Rodino
Jr. Institute of Criminal Justice, which is dedicated to improving the
operations of the criminal justice system. The Department
also sponsors a chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association's
Lambda Alpha Epsilon for its students.
The Department of Criminal
Justice/Security offers a Bachelor of Science degree program, which
combines professional studies in the fields of criminal justice (law
enforcement, courts, probation, corrections, parole and juvenile
justice), and security (national and industrial).
The degree program
is designed for individuals who are currently involved in the fields
of criminal justice, juvenile justice and security, as well as for
those students who seek careers in these fields. All course
work on our main campus is offered on a dual track basis, whereby the
student has the option to attend the same class at two different
times during the same day, at either 9:00 A.M. or 7:00 P.M. This
system was adopted to accommodate students with varying work schedules.
All course work is also offered at our satellite program in Wall,
NJ through the NJ Coastal Communiversity. Many courses are
also offered on-line.
All Criminal Justice/Security majors who qualify
may be eligible for the Cooperative Education Program. One
of the major objectives of the program is to combine classroom learning
with practical experience and to provide a realistic, in-the-field
laboratory for skills and knowledge that ordinarily would not be
acquired in the classroom. Students can earn
up to 12 credits in Cooperative Education with a maximum of 6 credits
in any one experience.
Students who choose to major in Criminal Justice/Security
will be required to take a 39 credit specialization
in one of the two professional concentrations:
-Criminal Justice (Law Enforcement, Courts, Probation, Corrections, Parole
and Juvenile Justice) 
-Security (National and Industrial)
All majors are required to complete a minimum of 39 credits
of Criminal Justice/Security courses in residence.
Minor Concentrations
A minor sequence is also available primarily for those students who do
not wish to major in Criminal Justice/Security, but are interested in intensive
study in any one of the areas of professional concentration.
The Peter W. Rodino. Jr. Institute of Criminal Justice
The
Peter W. Rodino, Jr. Institute of Criminal Justice was established on
June 5, 1977 at New Jersey City University. The Institute promotes
the urban mission of the University.
The Rodino Institute is dedicated
to improving the operations of the criminal justice system and to supporting
issues of social justice. It serves
as a major avenue for an exchange of ideas between the community, the
Department of Criminal Justice/Security and the University.
It seeks to
accomplish this by mobilizing the resources of the University and by reaching
out to the community-at-large in a variety of ways: by sponsoring conferences
and seminars for professionals and the general public on critical criminal
justice issues; by providing technical assistance to local police, court,
correctional, probation, parole and juvenile justice agencies; by conducting
innovative research and demonstration projects; and by assisting in developing
opportunities for student internships in criminal justice agencies.
