Directors of 239, four-year undergraduate criminal justice programs in the United States were asked to nominate the outstanding programs in that country and to state the criteria upon which they made their assessment.
Abstract
Eleven criteria and 24 institutions were mentioned by four or more directors. Institutional data produced moderate correlations between the frequency of mention and many of the indicators for the criteria. Similarities and differences with quality criteria found in rating of more established fields of study are discussed. 2 tables, 5 notes, 13 references. (Author abstract)
