The Administration of Justice discipline involves the study of the theory and practice of law enforcement, police work, the court, and corrections systems. Law enforcement specializes in police activities including effective patrol services to the public.
Courts specialize in responsibilities to the public through the trial system.
Corrections specialize in the incarceration process as well as rehabilitation of the offender. Private security services explore private protection through private agencies. Administration of Justice offers a wide range of career opportunities, whether as a line police officer, deputy sheriff, marshall, or state traffic officer. Specialized officers such as game wardens, forest rangers, or criminal investigators present cases in court and render other services to the justice system. Administration of Justice also prepares students for other professional careers such as law or elected officer.
