ACTION METHODS FOR POLICE IN A PROGRAM OF OPEN ADMISSIONS TO COLLEGE

Abstract

The brilliant pioneering work of Dr. J. L. Moreno has made yet another major contribution to the higher education of police officers.
John Jay College of Criminal Justice, The City University of New York, was originally designed with the notion of providing higher education opportunities for persons involved in law enforcement activities. Towards this end a faculty of highly experienced and equipped people teach within a format which offers the same course twice a day to allow for the changing shifts of the police officers in the City of New York. Moreover, courses are particularly designed toward the end of affording a Baccalaureate, Associate and Master
degrees in Criminal Justice, and at present, plans are well under way at this time toward offering a· Ph.D. In recent years other majors have been made possible in the areas of Arts and Languages; Behavioral Science; Government, History and Economics; Science and Mathematics, in addition to the basic offerings of Law and Police Science.
