President’s Corner

Campus safety, security under microscope

Greetings VACJE Members: You may recall in the

Summer 2007 VACJE newsletter (President’s Corner “We Are All Hokies”) I had committed to the following:

(1) attend a virtual forum on “Advanced Violence Risk Assessment,

(2) participate in a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training class,

(3) lend support to campus security personnel and

(4) watch for “red fl ags” (campus danger signs) that could lead to a disaster.

Well, I’m three for four. Although I have not been able to locate a CERT training class, I’ll keep looking! The December “violence risk assessment” course presented by James Cawood was excellent and drove home the point that some folks out there in our society might just be thinking that they will have to kill you in order to control you.

If you will e-mail me, I’ll be glad to send you a 28-page document, furnished at the virtual seminar, which includes an Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP) “Model Violence Risk Assessment Process.”

By JOHN WILT

Linda Jones was featured March 20 on the popular A&E series “Crime 360.”

A&E producers will provide viewers with an inside view of Cleveland Police Department’s homicide unit.

One aspect of A&E's production is their use of a 360 degree Lyca Camera which logs various crime scenes.

Jones can be seen processing crime scene evidence. By the time this newsletter is published, Linda will have “come and gone"”from Paramount Studio to see fi rst-hand

the proverbial “fi lm cuttings on the production studio fl oor.”

The title of the A&E show featuring crime scene and homicide personnel from the Cleveland PD is “Crime 360.” If you go to A&E’s Web site to view “Crime 360,” you can watch lead homicide detective

Wally Everett and Detective Mike Smith work a crime scene where a body lies hidden between some hedges and the porch of the victim's grandmother’s house. The victim, a male, is face down.

Jones featured on show that’s all about crime

VACJE 2012 ~ OUTLOOK

Happy New Year everyone! I hope each of you had a wonderful winter break and were able to have a little rest and relaxation with family and friends.

I’d like to start by thanking all of the members that attended the VACJE Annual Meeting in October. Our guests were, Michael Wade, Henrico County Sheriff, and Dr. Maxine Sample, Director of the Dr. George H. Bennett Office for International Education at VSU. Sheriff Wade shared information about his collaboration with Virginia Commonwealth University and Virginia Union University to create a Corrections Academy that benefits students and saves Henrico County money. Dr. Robyn Diehl,

VCU’s coordinator of this project, was also present and discussed the benefits of starting such a program in other jurisdictions. After lunch, Dr. Sample talked about the importance of internationalization in higher education. In addition, she shared ways to internationalize a criminal justice curriculum as well as trends in criminal justice study abroad opportunities.

Not only was the annual meeting exciting and informative, we were able to save money to benefit the organization. According to our treasurer, Ray Smith, the VACJE treasury has a balance of $ 1,632.97. Also, please be sure to review the membership section because I think we have some new members as well as renewals.

We hope that next year’s conference will also be a success but we can’t do it without YOU! Please email me any ideas for guest speakers or topics. Also please forward this newsletter to friends and colleagues who are not members – hopefully reading about the great things happening with VACJE they will want to join.

I’ll also continue our membership email campaign to other criminal justice and administration of justice programs in the Commonwealth.

Lastly, I’d like to give a special thank you to Ray Smith and John Wilt. Not only are they wonderful people to be around but they also keep me on my toes! I appreciate their dedication to VACJE and the field of criminal justice.

MArtin GreenberG is currently serving as an associate pro-fessor at Miles College in Birming-ham, Alabama. He will be serving as a panel member at the half-day symposium on “Volunteers in Polic-ing” to be held at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida on June 26, 2012. There is no registration fee for this event. It is being co-sponsored by the University of Central Florida’s Department of Criminal Justice and the Valencia College Criminal Jus-tice Institute. His topic will be “The History of Volunteer Police in Amer-ica.” In addition. Dr. Greenberg is moderating a roundtable panel at the June 6-9, 2012 Northeastern As-sociation of Criminal Justice Sci-ences (NEACJS) annual meeting. The meeting takes at Roger Williams Universityin Bristol, Rhode Island. For more details about this confer-ence, please go to www.neacjs.org The panel is entitled: “Advancing the Professionalization of Criminal Justice: The Pros and Cons for Es-tablishing an “ACJS Certified Crim-inal Justician Program”

OveRview OF TOPicThat a license to practice nursing, law, social work, clinical psychol-ogy, accountancy, etc. is needed is now so well understood thatthe mat-ter is hardly ever given a second thought. Why not a similar profes-sional certificationprogram (which could become at least a preferred credential) for individuals seeking careers in police, courts, and correc-tions?

Since 1930 five national study com-missions have recommended a degree in higher education as a prerequisite for entry into field of criminaljus-tice, especially with regard to police work. The decade of the 60s with its mass demonstrations in opposition to thewar in Vietnam, the slayings of national political leaders, racial strife, andviolent police responses to civil rights advocates--all contributed to a risingconcern for improved law and order. Oneresponse was the impetus given to the emerging field of crimi-nal justiceeducation when Congress established the Law Enforcement As-sistanceAdministration (LEAA). In turn, the LEAAestablished the Law Enforcement Education Program to provide funds to all peaceofficers interested in attending college. To-day, we have thousands of degree programs, but hardly any way toas-sess the overall academic attainments of degree holders. The advent of a recognized “CriminalJustice Major Field Test” which assesses for mas-tery of concepts andprinciples of the subject (available through ETS) pres-ents an opportunity tonot only assess individual student achievement, but also to promote theprofessionaliza-tion of the field of criminal justice. The last few decades have wit-nessed the development of avariety of national certification programs relat-ed to criminal justiceeducation, albeit in niche areas--such as security man-agement, fraudinvestigation, crime prevention, DARE educator, etc. In addition, the Academy of Criminal JusticeSciences (ACJS) also certifies degree programs.

This roundtable will address the pros and cons for encouraging the ACJS to create an individual student certi-fication program leading to the title of”criminal justician” for criminal justice degree holders and successful field test takers. Additional qualifi-cations may also be considered. The present and future implications of this proposal will be adddressed. Five faculty members have agreed to serveas as panel discussants, two of two of whom serve on the ACJS Executive Board. In addition, at the March 2012 ACJS Annual Meeting in NYC, the Community College Section voted to recommend that the ACJS appoint a committee to study the idea.


• • • • • •To my Comrades fighting crime—and sometimes fighting students…

I, Jerry LAne, am retiring at the end of this semester. I have belonged to VACJE since 1992 and I am a lifetime member. I have reaped many a benefit from my colleagues since joining VACJE. I will miss our meetings and discussions, but will also be thinking about how nice it is NOT to have to plan on how to best “cope” with new students. In my career, I have had the best of three jobs: A) Teaching at CVCC for 19 years; B) Working for 22 years with the King County Sher-iff’s Office in the Seattle, WA area as a Patrol Officer, Sergeant and for a short time as Lieutenant; and C) Two years with the Army, most of it spent at Fort Belvoir, VA as a Second and First Lieutenant with the 521st MP’s.

NEWSLETTER

FAMOUS CRIME AUTHOR PAYS VISITBrian C. Flick , Associate Professor of Police Science and Program Head of Administration of Justice at Piedmont Virginia Community College, poses with Jack Levin, nationally renowned authority on hate crimes and serial killers. Levin addressed students and others at Piedmont Virginia Community College recently. There was an excellent turnout for this prominent educator and author.

President’s Corner

Campus safety, security under microscope

Greetings VACJE Members: You may recall in the

Summer 2007 VACJE newsletter (President’s Corner “We Are All Hokies”) I had committed to the following:

(1) attend a virtual forum on “Advanced Violence Risk Assessment,

(2) participate in a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training class,

(3) lend support to campus security personnel and

(4) watch for “red fl ags” (campus danger signs) that could lead to a disaster.

Well, I’m three for four. Although I have not been able to locate a CERT training class, I’ll keep looking! The December “violence risk assessment” course presented by James Cawood was excellent and drove home the point that some folks out there in our society might just be thinking that they will have to kill you in order to control you.

If you will e-mail me, I’ll be glad to send you a 28-page document, furnished at the virtual seminar, which includes an Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP) “Model Violence Risk Assessment Process.”

By JOHN WILT

Linda Jones was featured March 20 on the popular A&E series “Crime 360.”

A&E producers will provide viewers with an inside view of Cleveland Police Department’s homicide unit.

One aspect of A&E's production is their use of a 360 degree Lyca Camera which logs various crime scenes.

Jones can be seen processing crime scene evidence. By the time this newsletter is published, Linda will have “come and gone"”from Paramount Studio to see fi rst-hand

the proverbial “fi lm cuttings on the production studio fl oor.”

The title of the A&E show featuring crime scene and homicide personnel from the Cleveland PD is “Crime 360.” If you go to A&E’s Web site to view “Crime 360,” you can watch lead homicide detective

Wally Everett and Detective Mike Smith work a crime scene where a body lies hidden between some hedges and the porch of the victim's grandmother’s house. The victim, a male, is face down.

Jones featured on show that’s all about crime
