Abstract
Using data from the "Anderson Directory of Criminal Justice Education," a survey of major criminal justice doctoral programs, and a review of academic job listing the study concludes that criminal justice higher education is thriving but in need of a greater number of doctoral programs to support the emerging discipline. The study also demonstrates that there is a substantial unsatisfied market for criminal justice Ph.D.s. (Author abstract)
