The meaning of justice in the context of U.S. and global crime and criminal justice institutions is a core focus of California State University, Northridge’s newest academic department, the Department of Criminology and Justice Studies, which launches its new major this fall.
More than 320 students have signed up to join the department’s inaugural class of majors who will explore a practical and social scientific understanding of America’s criminal justice system, as well as examining criminal justice practices around the world.
