Administration of Justice 63
Definition
Distinctive Features
The Administration of Justice Program
involves the study of the theory and
practice of law enforcement, police work,
the court and corrections systems.
Except for Introduction to Administration
of Justice, Administration of Justice

enforcement personnel.
Law enforcement, whether as a line police
officer, deputy sheriff, marshal, or state

opportunity to serve society. Specialized
officers such as game wardens, forest
rangers, or criminal investigators make
unique contributions throughout our state
and nation. They investigate crime,
present cases in court and render other
service to the justice system and the
people.
