在这里学什么？

The Indian Country Criminal Justice degree is designed to enable students and criminal justice professionals to master the complexities, challenges, and resolutions of providing criminal justice services in Indian Country. The historical relationships between American Indian nations and the United States federal government, as well as relationships with states, have resulted in distinctive and complex legal and political environments. Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples have been and are still subject to discriminatory laws rooted in colonialism that have become institutionalized in criminal justice in Indian Country. Factual, historical, legal, and practical knowledge as well as cultural competency and understanding are necessary for better serving Native American and Indigenous communities and building more effective and culturally sound criminal justice systems. This innovative, interdisciplinary degree will educate students about these critical dimensions of criminal justice in Indian Country, as well as provide training in the application of knowledge, skills, and theory in many settings, from law enforcement to judiciary settings to advocacy to policy development. Criminal Justice in Indian Country is a unique, complex, and specialized field.

Careers

American Indian officials state that Indian reservations in Arizona are underserved by law enforcement, especially those trained to work in American Indian communities. This creates a public safety issue for everyone (Indians and non-Indians) who lives there. This degree is designed for two kinds of students: Some will be students preparing themselves to enter career opportunities in criminal justice and related fields, within American Indian nations as well as other organizations that provide criminal justice and related services to American Indian populations. The other type of student will be those already working in these fields, from law enforcement to court systems to advocacy, to hands-on settings in administration and government, who seek to improve their knowledge and skills and advance their careers. The interdisciplinary nature of this degree ensures that students will have a wide range of substantive knowledge in criminal justice and in Indigenous Studies, as well as special knowledge about legal jurisdiction and federal Indian policy as provided specifically by this degree. The degree will assist them to develop their communication, cultural, and interpersonal skills as well as analytic and problem-solving skills. The ICJ program is expected to grow over the coming years as more Indian nations establish their own justice institutions as a means to enhance self-government and nation-building.

Career opportunities that might be pursued:

• Law enforcement officer
• Detective
• Court staff
• Detention staff
• Indigenous restorative justice systems
• Victim advocacy
• Probation and parole
• Policy analysis

With further education, one of these paths is possible:

• Tribal or federal judiciary: judge or administrator
• Detention system administration
• Criminal defense law
• Criminal Prosecution
• Tribal government
• Policy consultation
