Welcome to the Criminal Justice and Public Policy (CJPP) Program website. The CJPP program began in the 1997-1998 academic year and is a collaborative program between the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Department of Political Science. The objectives of the program are to demonstrate to students the intersection of law, public policy and social and criminal justice. Graduates of the program will be well versed in the subfields of public policy, criminal justice, the Canadian court and legal system, and social justice. The CJPP program draws on the teaching and research strengths within each department and has become one of the most popular specializations in the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences with over 600 majors. Effective July 1, 2010, Professor Andrew Hathaway of Sociology will be the new coordinator.

At the summer Convocation held on June 16, 2010, 76 students graduated with an Honours degree in CJPP. Congratulations to all the graduates!!
