Description
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive collection addresses the urgent need for inclusive pedagogical approaches in criminal justice education, presenting nine evidence-based articles that examine diversity, equity, and inclusion across undergraduate and graduate programmes.
Contributors explore innovative teaching strategies, from implementing trigger warnings and validating transgender identities to integrating formerly incarcerated students and utilising extended reality technologies in policing courses. The volume demonstrates how educators can transform traditional criminal justice curricula through culturally responsive pedagogy, diversified datasets, and global perspectives. Practical applications include using rap lyrics to teach race and justice concepts, developing faculty learning communities, and creating inclusive classroom environments for trauma-affected students. Each chapter provides empirical insights into overcoming barriers to inclusive education whilst maintaining academic rigour.
This book will be of particular value to academics in criminology, criminal justice education, international studies, and higher education administration. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal of Criminal Justice Education.
