What Is Criminal Justice at SUNY Plattsburgh?
Criminal Justice at SUNY Plattsburgh is not a police training program. You won’t learn how to conduct a highway stop or put on handcuffs. You will become familiar with law and the U.S. Constitution, and how our laws and rights apply to individuals. You will compare and contrast crime and delinquency in urban and rural areas. You will learn the legal foundations and theoretical premises that lie behind criminal justice practices. And you will become familiar with the complexity of issues surrounding the criminal justice system.
