Justice Studies Tools and Resources
Justice Studies students, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, are active participants in the creation of materials that educate, train, and further the growth of law enforcement officers. Their work, in mediums such as video, webinar, and digital book, also adds to the educational experience of current and future Justice Studies students at RIC.
How to Excel as a Police Officer in Rhode Island
Undergraduate and graduate Justice Studies students, in collaboration with RIC's Film Studies Club, created this tool to aid police department recruiting efforts. In this video officers are asked about their daily work, including the use of body cams, Artificial Intelligence, and how they meet the needs of diverse communities.
Promoting Restorative Justice in Law Enforcement
In this webinar series, designed for law enforcement training, undergraduate and graduate Justice Studies students give five short lectures on topics such as procedural justice, cultural competency, mindfulness and stress reduction, racial profiling, and the prisoner population. Police officers are also interviewed by students on these topics, following the webinars. The Rhode Island Guardians Association helped sponsor this project.
