The "Justice in the UK" program is designed to introduce students to criminal justice related issues in the United Kingdom (specifically England, Scotland, and Wales). The program will generally focus on law enforcement, courts, corrections, restorative justice, and drug policy.

Students will visit with members of law enforcement and corrections in Edinburgh (Scotland), Cardiff (Wales), and London (England). All UK courts are open to the public so students will have the opportunity to tour and visit some of the local criminal courts as well. They will also meet with professionals who work in drug prevention/treatment as well as restorative justice programs in the UK.

“Traveling to Amsterdam gave me insights into both culture and criminal justice. The two are very intertwined in Amsterdam. Experiencing how various issues were handled was informative opened my eyes to the differences in criminal justice reform between the US and the Netherlands. ”

“Touring the Red Light District was like nothing I had ever done before. It was such a different culture than we are used to. It was somewhat of a shock at first but amazing to experience and learn about nonetheless. You really gain a new perspective on the issue of prostitution after visiting the Prostitution Information Center and hearing more of the history of the issue.”
