The nexus between transnational organized crime and terrorism represents a growing threat worldwide. The confluence of criminal and terrorist actors, tactics and resources enable them to gain stronger capacities to threaten peace, security and economic development.

The Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice (DCCJ) offers a Ph.D. in International Crime and Justice (ICJ). Considered to be the first and only program in international crime and justice in the United States, the curriculum offers a rigorous set of courses to equip students to produce original research that generates insights into criminology issues and their international nexus. The courses in the curriculum focus on providing students with an extensive education in theory, research methods, and statistics. Alumni of the program have careers in an academic setting as faculty continuing their research and teaching.

The DCCJ is housed under the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs. The Green School is a full member of the prestigious Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA), making it the only university in Florida and one of just 40 universities globally to hold this distinction, along with Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and the University of Toronto. Membership in APSIA is comprised of the foremost graduate schools of international affairs, whose stated aim is to enhance global affairs education and promote international understanding. FIU's Ph.D. program in International Crime and Justice is the first of its kind and the first APSIA-affiliated doctoral program in criminology and criminal justice.

The Crime & Justice Studies (CJS) program brings together the fields of criminology, criminal justice, and justice studies. Bridging the social sciences and humanities, CJS specializes in the study of the criminal justice system's history, policies, politics, and procedures.

The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (TLOA; P.L. 111-211, 124 Stat. 2258 251(b)) requires BJS to establish and implement a tribal crime data-collection system, and support tribal participation in national records and information systems. The Act specifies data collection and analysis of crimes committed on federally recognized reservations, in tribal communities, and on identified trust lands which in combination are commonly referred to as Indian country. There are approximately 326 federally recognized tribal lands in the continental United States, with an estimated population of 4.6 million persons, of which 23% are American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN).

For crimes committed in Indian country, jurisdiction over criminal justice administration varies by the type and seriousness of the crime, whether the offender or victim is a tribal member, and the location of the offense. Crimes committed in Indian country among AIANs may be subject to concurrent jurisdiction by tribal, federal, state, or local criminal justice agencies. This is due to the sovereign status of federally recognized tribes and to Public Law 83-280 (commonly referred to as P.L. 280).

P.L. 280 applies in 16 states. The law permits the federal government to transfer mandatory jurisdiction over major crimes in Indian country to the state, and it permits the state to acquire optional jurisdiction, in whole or in part, over Indian country within their boundaries. Six states have established mandatory jurisdiction over crimes in Indian country, and 10 states have established optional jurisdictions.

In the 19 states with federally recognized tribes where P.L. 280 does not apply, the federal government retains criminal jurisdiction for major crimes committed in Indian country. More than 300 tribes are under P.L. 280 jurisdictions.

The National Archive of Criminal Justice Data archives data on crime and justice and contains data from over 2,700 curated studies or statistical data series. The website is home to several large-scale datasets, including the National Crime Victimization Survey, FBI's Uniform Crime Reports and National Incident-Based Reporting System, and the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods.

Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice is a national network of crime survivors joining together to create healing communities and shape public safety policy. We are a flagship project of Alliance for Safety and Justice.

For too long, the voices and experiences of diverse crime survivors have been ignored, despite tremendous increases in public safety spending. Instead of putting the needs of survivors first, most justice systems have failed to stop the cycle of crime and wasted billions of dollars.

Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice is a flagship project of Alliance for Safety and Justice, a national organization working with partners and leaders to advance criminal justice and public safety reform in states across the country. Alliance for Safety and Justice engages in policy advocacy, issue education, research, and coalition building to replace wasteful prison spending with new safety solutions focused on prevention, stopping the cycle of crime, and community wellbeing. Alliance for Safety and Justice is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is the sister organization of Californians for Safety and Justice.

Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice organizes through state and local chapters across the country to create healing communities, develop organizers and leaders, and advocate for public safety policies that work better to support our communities. We advocate for policies that reduce incarceration and increase investments into crime prevention, trauma recovery, and rehabilitation. Through our chapters we host training on advocating for changes to public policy, community organizing, addressing the needs of survivors, sharing our stories, and engaging in action for change. Chapters also organize healing circles, community support events, and opportunities for survivors to build connections and mutual support. Chapter coordinators also have opportunities to engage in advocacy to advance criminal justice and public safety policy reforms, in coordination with the Alliance for Safety and Justice. We currently have active chapters in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Texas.

For its eighth year, Survivors Speak will convene a National Virtual Conference + Week of Actions from April 18-24, 2021. Now more than ever, the voices of crime survivors are critical.To watch the 2021 Survivors Speak, visit:

The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice (SCCJ) is a nationally-recognized leader in the scientific study of the causes of crime and criminal justice system responses. The school provides its students with the foundation for entering many diversified criminal justice related careers in corrections, courts and law, juvenile services, law enforcement, private security, and victim services. The curriculum is composed of a broad range of courses in corrections, courts, criminology, diversity, deviant behavior and violence, juvenile delinquency, law, law enforcement, research methods, victimology and various special topics. Through the SCCJ internship program, students can obtain valuable work experience within various criminal justice agencies.

Although the bachelor of science in criminology and criminal justice degree can be earned entirely on the Lincoln campus, the degree is granted by the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice (BCCJ) degree requires the completion of 120 credit hours with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0. Core major requirements are guided by a series of student learning outcomes.

Students who have been admitted to the University may apply for entrance to the College of Public Affairs and Community Service (CPACS) as a criminology and criminal justice major by indicating their preference in the appropriate place on the University Application for Admission form.

Students who wish to transfer into the criminology and criminal justice major from one of the schools or colleges within the University or from another institution must have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.

Students wishing to transfer from another institution or department within the University of Nebraska must have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to declare a criminology and criminal justice major. Students wishing to transfer are encouraged to contact an SCCJ advisor for more details on the transfer policy.

A maximum of 24 hours may be taken Pass/No Pass and none of the 40 hours required for the criminology and criminal justice major may be taken Pass/No Pass (with the exception of CRIM 397 Internship in Criminal Justice and CRIM 496 Issues in Crime and Justice).
