The Minor in Criminal Justice (CJUG) offered by the Department of Sociology will give students an operational knowledge of the three branches of the criminal justice system: policing, the courts, and corrections/rehabilitation. The students will be engaged in empirical projects grounded in criminology theory. The minor will also expose them to the major demographic forces that shape the criminal justice system in the United States and beyond.
