In the ghetto: Legal studies in criminal justice programs

摘要: Academic disciplines are artificial constructions, but also rational methods of organizing curriculum. A relatively new discipline such as criminal justice borrows its substance from established and wages a constant battle to be scholarly rather than merely vocational. JDs who teach in programs find themselves tarred with the vocational brush; resulting ghettoized status is reflected salaries, hiring practices lack collaboration teaching research. have no less commitment do PhDs; their education neither better nor worse, different. Students will served if drawn into academic mainstream equal partners.
