Overview

Through Criminal Justice (Juvenile Justice) BSc program from the Liberty University you can learn how to rehabilitate and prevent repeat offenders. Community-based corrections involves providing correctional supervision and services in a community setting as an alternative to jail or prison. This is especially effective with juveniles as they tend to be hardened upon entering a standard correctional facility.

The professors will use hands-on activities to teach you a practical understanding of community-based corrections, delinquency, and crime prevention.

You will prepare for a career in juvenile corrections by studying the internal workings of the criminal justice system and how it responds to juvenile delinquency. You will also learn some of the more successful methods for establishing rehabilitation programs.

Deputy prison warden
