Where Passion Meets Education

Advance, inspire, and promote the highest quality and evidence based practices of criminal justice education to students and practitioners in community colleges, colleges, and universities within the Commonwealth of Virginia

Advocate for professional standards and competencies in criminal justice education.

 Continuously search for new techniques and approaches in the delivery of academic criminal justice programs to advance criminal justice education in the Commonwealth of Virginia 

Today, perhaps more so than ever before in our Commonwealth and in the Nation, an organization such as ours is needed to assist in guiding the channel of resources required to assist in building evidence-based knowledge and understanding in our chosen discipline. We can do so by being a substantive, significant and strategic organization that functions as a “community of practice.”
