CHILDREN AND THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TOTAL UNITS: 18 Units CONTACT: Joel Gordon, 527-4315 Program The goal of this certificate is to provide a program of classes from both the Child Development department and the Administration of Justice program that targets the needs of those who work with youth and children in the justice system. In order to work effectively with youthful offenders, professionals need to understand both the dynamics of child and family development and the work- 8 8 ings of the justice system in regards to those same youth. By combining classes from these two programs, students would better understand the interplay between the dynamics operating in both systems. All courses included in the certificate are offered on a regular basis as part of other curriculum offered within each of the two departments. Occupation Those occupations relevant to this professional certification would include juvenile probation officers, juvenile counselors, group counselors in youth homes, police officers who work on domestic issues, and police involved in other youth work or in family situations. The certificate, though not required for any specific occupation, would demonstrate that the student has a special interest in this area. Employment It is apparent that the rising incidence of youth crime is creating an increased need for more professionals in the justice system. Additionally, those already working in that system need increased help in understanding the most effective methods of working with these youth and their families. Juvenile crime has risen steadily in all segments of our society. This has created a strong labor market for those skilled in working with youth and families. Because of the broad range of occupations to which this certificate may apply, salaries also vary. Youth counselor/supervisor salaries vary from $10-12 per hour. Police/probation officers earn in the $50-60,000 per year range. DATE: The requirements for this certificate are effective beginning the semester shown below. If you began working on this certificate before the effective semester, you may not be affected by any changes to the program. Consult with a counselor or department chair to determine your eligibility to complete the certificate under previous requirements.
