SBS Crime and Justice Research Institute for Minority Scholars

SBS's Criminal Justice Research Center (CJRC) hosts an annual three-week summer program to increase the number of minority scholars in the study of race, crime and justice. During the project, minority faculty will complete an ongoing project in preparation for journal submission and participate in workshops related to research, professionalism, and networking.
