Chair’s Message

Welcome to the Department of Criminal Justice at Plymouth State University. In our department, we consider ourselves a family and we work hard to ensure that everyone connected with our department, including students, faculty, and staff, feels that way. Each of us plays an important role in helping you grow into and succeed as the criminal justice professional we believe you can be.

I’m very proud of our faculty, comprised of a tremendous blend of scholars and professionals in the field.  Together we collaborate to give you the necessary understanding of criminal justice concepts and how they apply to the real world. The criminal justice field is crucial to society, and it is our belief that our students leaving the program are in an excellent position to make a positive impact on the world. It’s a field full of excitement and promise, one that I hope you choose to experience first-hand. I look forward to meeting you!
