Criminal Justice Career Exploration

Get ready for an action-packed morning as we dive into the exciting world of criminal justice! In this hands-on session, students will explore the entire justice process—from arrest to sentencing. They'll take part in investigating a mock crime scene, dusting and lifting fingerprints from objects, and even fingerprinting classmates using real techniques.

Participants will learn the importance of writing an effective investigative report and understand the crucial role of testifying in court. We’ll also discuss different sentencing options and how decisions are made in the justice system.

By the end of the morning, students will walk away with a new perspective on careers in criminal justice—and their very own fingerprint kit to take home and keep the learning going!
