| Academic
Programs at ASCC : Criminal Justice |
|
| The Criminal Justice Department
degree programs are designed to offer the student an academic preparation
for entry level career positions in criminal justice, law, criminology,
law enforcement, probation and parole and public safety. The program
will provide an opportunity for the student to develop the abilities
and skills necessary for a career upgrade and for transfer to a four
year institution. Since any Criminal Justice System does not exist
in isolation, but naturally reflects the structure, ideas and concerns
of the society in which it operates, the program encourages students
to be cognizant of the social, ethical, political and cultural perspectives
of the American Criminal Justice System, and its interrelationship
to and impact on the systems of justice in American Samoa and other
Pacific island nations. |
