Seattle University’s Department of Criminal Justice, Criminology, and Forensics offers study in leading-edge interdisciplinary social sciences involving the study of crime and the societal responses to crime. Our department offers undergraduate, graduate, certificate and continuing education programs that apply theory and research to inform initiatives, policies, and practice with a laser focus on ethics, diversity, and leadership.
Our programs provide students with conceptual and empirical knowledge to enhance the study of criminal justice, while also offering valuable hands-on experience through opportunities for applied field learning such as police ride-alongs, prison tours, courtroom observations, as well as academic/criminal justice collaborative research opportunities.
Donations to the Department of Criminal Justice, Criminology & Forensics will go to the fund the Crime & Justice Research Center, which brings together researchers, academics, law enforcement personnel, judges, psychologists, sociologists, and others involved in the study of crime and the administration of justice. In addition to research and training, the Crime & Justice Research Center conducts public events, engages in service initiatives, and serves as a referral resource for individuals affected by crime.
