Purpose

The purpose of the Criminal Justice Association at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is to provide insight into the criminal justice field for the student body. We intend to communicate professional career opportunities and to elevate and uphold high ethical and moral standards in the criminal justice discipline. The Criminal Justice Association offers information to those students who show interest in the field of criminal justice, regardless of their educational or career objectives.

Career Opportunities

The Criminal Justice Association assists students who are seeking employment within the criminal justice field by sponsoring a job workshop. Additionally, we host several guest speakers from a variety of agencies throughout the year. These activities provide information about a variety of job responsibilities and their requirements.

Fund Raising

The Criminal Justice Association's fund raising activities are geared towards the students. These activities include selling department T-shirts and sweatshirts. These activities are flexible and will depend on the group's consensus.

Community Service
