The Administration of Justice program at CR offers Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees in Administration of Justice for Transfer and Police Science and a certificate of achievement in Basic Law Enforcement. Within the Department of Administration of Justice, classes are designed to provide opportunities for students seeking careers in the criminal justice system, including law enforcement, the court system, and corrections facilities. The library supports students in these programs by providing selected resources.
In order to find the best information sources for your research project, consider what words or phrases you'll need to search in the library catalog, databases, or other web sources. Below is a sample some useful search terms to use for a research project within the field of Administration of Justice. Depending on the topic of your research, you may need to combine words or phrases. A librarian can help you determine the best terms to search.
The search terms listed above can be used in a search engine like Google, but you'll find more reliable and authoritative sources searching in the library's OneSearch catalog - or in Credo Reference, a vast online collection of reference articles that provide excellent background information.
