Annotation
A criminal justice curriculum based on a law studies model is offered as an approach capable of satisfying both the demand for practical, professionally relevant training and the demand for theoretical, academically oriented preparation that is compatible with other liberal arts course work.
Abstract
In addition to providing the academic respectability demanded by college and university administrations, undergraduate education in law and legal process provides the criminal justice major with the kind of learning experience that a legalistic society such as ours demands of those educated and trained to perform criminal justice roles.
