The comprehensive reading list is organized in sections corresponding to the Master of Criminal Justice foundation courses. The books, articles, research reports, and cases in each section include required texts for the MACJ foundation courses as well as additional classic and contemporary works, key cases, and critical research in criminal justice. The readings reflect key content areas in the field of criminal justice to provide a broad overview of the history, theory, and research in criminal justice. Many of the readings overlap course content areas but are listed under the section/course of primary relevance. This list is by no means exhaustive in terms of coverage of important works in the discipline of criminal justice and does not include readings assigned in the concentration and elective courses as well as many classic and contemporary works. Students are encouraged to read beyond the works listed and to become familiar with recent research in major academic journals in criminal justice such as Justice Quarterly, Criminology, Law & Society, The International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, Criminal Justice & Behavior, and others. The comprehensive exam is offered during Fall and Spring quarters (see MACJ Program Handbook for more detail). Students are eligible to take the exam upon completion of the MACJ foundation courses and comprehensive readings. It is required that students take the Criminal Justice Capstone Course prior to taking the exam. Students intending to take the exam must complete the Comprehensive Exam Sign-Up Sheet and submit it to the Graduate Administrative Assistant preferably by last day of the quarter prior to the quarter the exam will be administered.
