The mission of the Department of Criminal Justice at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is fourfold: 

(1) to challenge our undergraduate students to examine critically the nature of crime and the criminal justice system in order to prepare them for graduate study or entry into a criminal justice profession;
(2) to develop within our graduate students a higher understanding of the linkages between criminological theory, empirical research and criminal justice policy in order to prepare them for postgraduate work or as capable professionals in the field;
(3) to maintain active research agendas and contribute to the body of knowledge pertaining to crime and justice; and
(4) to share our expertise to local, state, federal and international entities in order to assist them in theoretically informed decision-making, policy/program evaluations and other relevant matters pertaining to crime, justice, and the criminal justice system.
