James M. Brasfield, Political Science John J. Fleming, Psychology CRIMINAL JUSTICE Students Investigate Court Cases Gannon students had an opportunity this year to actively participate in an educational experience sponsored by the Criminal Justice Program. Acting as Erie County Court investigators, the students researched actual court cases to determine whether or not an individual should be released from county jail on probation. Six people were involved in last year's program, and the practical experience they gained remains one of the program's major goals. Although it is similar to police training programs, the Criminal Justice Program, combined with the Core cur- riculum, has given students an increased knowledge in areas outside their field. And the option for further study on a graduate level is a viable possibility. One of the program participants, Cathy Moore, expressed her reaction to working as a court investigator: The experience was an invaluable one. I felt I was contributing posi- tively to the court system. 1 iw Rev. John P.Schanz, Theology Rev. James W. Peterson, Theology 19
