Criminal Justice

Criminal Justice

Criminal justice is a term that refers to the laws, procedures, institutions, and policies at play before, during, and after the commission of a crime. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the three main elements of the criminal justice system: the courts, policing, and corrections. The study of criminal justice involves learning how all three of these elements work, both independently and collectively. The course will also introduce students to the multitude of careers available in the law enforcement and legal fields, through guest speakers and field trips to local courts, police departments, and correctional facilities.

Advisory Committee


Advisory committees serve the CTE programs by acting as liaison between the educational institution and the public. The principal purpose for CTE program/advisory committees is to promote greater cooperation between career and technical education and the private sector in preparing individuals for employment, promoting quality career and technical education and making the career technical education system more responsive to the labor market.



CTE program/advisory committees have three major roles. They are to advise, assist and provide support and advocacy for quality career and technical education. It is through these roles that CTE program/advisory committees work with instructors and administrators to initiate policies, procedures and methods that help strengthen and modernize career and technical education.

Improving the quality of career and technical education can be directly linked to the degree of involvement, participation and commitment of the CTE program/advisory committees. If you would like to be involved in shaping the future of education at MWVCTC and have the skills/background to benefit the Aviation & Aerospace Program, please email Therese Ballou for more information.
