The Administration of Justice program at CR offers Associate of Science degrees in Administration of Justice and Corrections, with certificates offered in Administration of Justice, Basic Law Enforcement, Corrections, and Federal and State Wildland Fire Fighter Programs. Within the Department of Administration Justice, the classes are designed to provide opportunities for students seeking careers in the criminal justice system, including law enforcement, courts, fire fighting, and corrections. The library supports students in these programs by providing selected resources.
When you're working on a research project, you need to use terms that relate to your topic to find information sources - but you also need to be flexible. Combining multiple terms will help you find sources that are more closely focused on your specific topic.
These are some useful terms to use for a research project in Administration of Justice. Other terms may be useful as well. Use specific words, but only use one or two word phrases - not whole sentences! Try both plural and singular forms, and try varying combinations.
The search terms listed above can be used in Google, but you'll find more reliable and authoritative sources searching in the library's OneSearch catalog - or in Credo Reference, an online collection of reference and research sources. Use the box below to access Credo's Criminology and Law resources, or access OneSearch from the Library Materials tab on this guide. (You may be asked to login using your student ID number).
Always ask your instructor what citation style should be used for research projects. See below for links to helpful resources.
