Criminal Justice Department

Before a crime is committed in deed, it is committed in thought – if only for a split second.  Those who work in criminal justice know that if they can understand the mindset behind a crime, they can more quickly solve it and bring the perpetrator to justice. The University of New Haven’s criminal justice and public safety programs are psychology-based, endowing you with a keen grasp of crime-solving and public safety issues.  The depth of coverage you will receive in these programs is virtually unmatched.
