Catalog description

Section information text: Doctoral students use theory in the foundation of their capstone project. Scholars in the field of criminal justice have several theories they may use as the lens through which they view criminal justice or as the foundation of their own research. This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to understand, evaluate, and apply criminal justice theories to research and practice. Students practice these skills throughout the course and solidify the process of applying a theory to a criminal justice research topic in the Final Project.
