Mission
The Criminal Justice and Public Policy Program began in the 1997-1998 academic year and is a collaborative program between the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Department of Political Science. The objectives of the program are to demonstrate to students the intersection of law, public policy and social and criminal justice. Graduates of the program will be well versed in the subfields of public policy, criminal justice, the Canadian court and legal system, and social justice. The CJPP program draws on the teaching and research strengths within each department and has become one of the most popular specializations in the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences with over 600 majors. Effective Jan 1, 2013, Professor Troy Riddell of the Political Science department will be the new coordinator.

The Criminal Justice and Public Policy Society is a student-based and run club at the University of Guelph. Our focus is to engage CJPP students and encourage socializing with other students and professors through activities and events. It is an excellent way to make new friends in your program, form study groups, get to know your professors, and have a good time!
