Criminal Justice is one of the top fields of interest for today's college students. Perhaps this popularity is based on our intense interest in criminals and law and order. In the United States we grapple every day with the concept of justice, on the streets, in the courtrooms and even in the statehouse. FDU Magazine asked faculty and alumni to tell us what they think of some of the most high-profile issues in criminal justice today. Their answers reveal the enormously complex considerations that can tip the scales of justice.
