JUS695 NJ Cops Capstone
This course requires students to complete an original research project grounded in the field of criminal justice. Each student will design and complete an action research project that broadens and deepens the student’s awareness and appreciation of the need to apply community base, social justice perspectives to one’s professional endeavors. In completing these projects, students must demonstrate an ability to define, analyze, evaluate, and recommend solutions for resolving an issue, problem, or potential opportunity of interest and importance to the community. Students may periodically share with one another their project goals, challenges, and progress attained. Each student will complete a substantial research paper discussing the objectives, research, and outcomes of their project. The project topics and research methods employed will be developed through individual consultations and collaborative discussions with the seminar’s instructor. All projects must receive faculty approval first.
