TESC Criminal Justice Degree

[sanantone]

This is the description for TESC's Public Policy, Crime and Justice course.

A review and analysis of intergovernmental relations involved in forming and implementing criminal justice policies, laws and procedures. The course emphasizes the development of quantitative and qualitative information used to analyze and formulate policy.

I've looked at I don't know how many CJ programs at Community Colleges and couldn't find anything that looked like this course. Correct me if I'm wrong but it kind of seems like a CJ statistics course.

I found this course called Crime in America that's offered by the Alamo Community Colleges. It's probably also offered by other Texas CCs. These would be expensive if you're not a resident.

American crime problems in historical perspective, social and public policy factors affecting crime, impact and crime trends, social characteristics of specific crimes, and prevention of crime.

They also have a course called Social Problems.

Application of sociological principles to the major problems of contemporary society, such as inequality, crime and violence, substance abuse, deviance, or family problems.

It's really just a public policy course, so maybe you can start by searching for those in sociology, public administration, and political science departments.

Ok I've got the actual degree Area of Study figured out, I'm just trying to figure out my Gen Ed stuff, it's kind of confusing me a little bit. I've now come to kind of a roadblock, I am no longer able to take any CBE that cannot be proctored online ( I may be able to work out one day that I'll be able to get off work, but that's all) so I'm looking at what courses I can take online besides Straighterline, Penn Foster and Saylor that I will be able to complete my Gen Eds. I'm trying to stay away from History courses because I'm still considering a 2nd Bachelor's in History. I'm my strong points and what I am comfortable with are Econonmics, most computer courses and social science courses.
