Criminal Justice

The Criminal Justice Field School combines two courses, Introduction to the Criminal Justice System and Forensic Psychology, in a compressed, 3-week format.

Explore the criminal justice system, and investigate, evaluate, and apply psychological and sociological research to areas such as lie detection, police interrogations, criminal profiling, racial profiling, murdered/missing Indigenous women/girls, wrongful convictions, and mental health and the criminal justice system.

This year's students will be travelling to Prince George to visit the Prince George Correctional Facility and courthouse. In Terrace, students will meet members from the criminal justice system, stage and collect evidence in mock crime scenes, and participate in a mock trial at the Terrace Courthouse.
