Internship information and planning meeting for new admits

Christopher Uggen, Regents Professor and Martindale Chair in Sociology and Law at the University of Minnesota, spoke at this year’s Talarico Lecture. Sponsored by the Criminal Justice Studies Program, the Criminal Justice Society and the Department of Political Science (School of Public and International Affairs) and the Department of Sociology (Franklin College of Arts and Sciences) the lecture honors the service and legacy of Dr. Talarico  among whose many distinctions was serving as the Director of the Criminal Justice Studies Program for 22 years.

On 31 January 2017 members of the Criminal Justice Society, CJ majors and faculty and staff visited the Jackson Diagnostic and Classification Center. This is the central intake facility for the state prison system and home to "Death Row." Students found it to be a markedly different experience than the earlier visit to the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta.
