刑事司法包括犯罪，犯罪控制，司法程序和司法机构的多学科检查。该学科涉及与犯罪和司法以及司法系统及其行政管理有关的定义，因果关系，预防，调查，法律程序，治疗，康复和研究。萨克拉曼多州的刑事司法计划是北加州最受欢迎的计划之一。由于大量的应用程序，该程序现在正式受到影响。希望成为刑事司法专业的学生必须完成一系列必修的低年级课程，然后必须申请入学。强烈建议有兴趣的学生尽快与刑事司法顾问交谈。
Criminal Justice encompasses multidisciplinary examinations of crime, crime control, the justice process, and justice institutions. The discipline addresses definitions, causation, prevention, investigation, legal process, treatment, rehabilitation, and research relating to crime and justice as well as the institutions of the justice system and their administration. The Criminal Justice program at Sacramento State is one of the most highly sought after programs in Northern California. Due to the large number of applications, the program is now officially impacted. Students wishing to become Criminal Justice majors must complete a series of required lower division courses and then must apply for admission to the program. It is highly recommended that interested students speak with a Criminal Justice advisor as soon as possible.
