Abstract

The status of baccalaureate criminal justice education is examined using both the population of criminal justice programs in the Southern Region of the United States and a random sample of the programs stratified by state. The study was designed and conducted to provide an empirical basis for the evaluation of current baccalaureate degree criminal justice programs in the South. Descriptive data concerning the colleges and universities which house these programs, background program information, and specific curricula and courses of each program during the academic year 1987–1988 are examined. The current status of the baccalaureate criminal justice curriculum in the South is evaluated.
