What exactly is the Criminal Justice Society?
The Criminal Justice Society is a student organization intended for anyone interested in law, criminal justice, current issues, etc.
Meetings:
We have meetings once a month during the semester, often with guest speakers. In the past, speakers have included the FBI, TBI, K-9 Officers, Campus Security, Sullivan County S.O.R.T. team, child abuse investigators, local police departments, and morel
Field Trips:
The Criminal Justice Society also participates in field trips. Our major trips have included a trip to Nashville to tour the TBI facility and view three autopsies by the State Medical Examiner's Office. We have also toured the law enforcement training academy in Donnelson, TN and the FBI's training academy in Quantico, Virginia. We have also toured Death Row at Riverbend State Correctional Facility and the Dr. Bass's Body Farm in Knoxville, TN. In addition, we have made trips to the Red Onion Supermax Correctional Facility in Virginia, the Northeast Tennessee Correctional Complex in TN, and to the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Piegon Forge, TN.
Charitable work:
The Criminal Justice Society periodically helps volunteer and/or do charitable work. In Fall 2024, we conducted a bake sale on campus and donated all proceeds to help the homeless who suffered from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
