Abstract: | Summary We are entering a new era where the demands for quality will include higher expectations of faculty, students, and practitioners.
Now is the time for action and decision. Criminal justice education has rapidly matured; rather than being complacent about
the progress we’ve made, we should take the lead and become acknowledged as pacesetters for high educational standards. Recommendations
for improving the quality of higher education must be considered with sincerity and diligence. The capability for excellence
is present in the conscientious faculty residing in each and every criminal justice program. With proper nurturing and support,
these faculty would flourish and this excellence come into full bloom. Furthermore, the task of achieving quality education
in all fields will not and must not fall to one group for action. We are faced with the necessity of bringing all factions
together—teacher, administrator, student, and practitioner—to develop and implement solutions to today’s education problems,
not as a last resort, but in recognition of change as a constant reality. The time for change is always now. |
