THIS PAPER PRESENTS THREE ALTERNATIVE IDEAL TYPE MODELS WHICH CAN FORM THE BASIS OF UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE CRIMINAL JUSTICE EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
Abstract
THE FIRST MODEL CONSIDERED IS THE MANPOWER-PRACTITIONER MODEL WHICH EQUATES FURTHERING CRIME CONTROL EFFORTS WITH THE POSSESSION OF COLLEGE DEGREES BY CRIMINAL JUSTICE PRACTITIONERS. THE SECOND MODEL, THE DETACHED SCHOLARSHIP MODEL, IS CHARACTERIZED BY A PERSPECTIVE WHICH SEES CRIME AND DELINQUENCY AS INTERESTING PHENOMENA IN AND OF THEMSELVES. FINALLY, THE EXPERIMENTAL CHANGE MODEL PROMOTES THE STUDY OF CRIME AND DELINQUENCY AS THEY RELATE TO THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF RATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY FOR THE CONTROL OF CRIME. THIS THIRD MODEL RECEIVES MORE ATTENTION THAN THE OTHER TWO, INCLUDING SOME PRELIMINARY IDEAS ON IMPLEMENTATION AND A MODEL CURRICULUM.
