Bring the realities of police work into the criminal justice classroom.
Criminal justice students learn about laws, investigations, and the justice system. Practical exercises can give them an opportunity to apply that learning to the kinds of questions police professionals face.
What happened? Which facts matter? What information is missing? How can the student explain the situation clearly to someone who was not there?
Beyond the Criminal Justice Classroom and KLYVOREK Institute offer a starting point for those conversations.
Turn a Scenario Into a Learning Experience
A fictional scenario can be used to encourage students to:
- Identify and organize important facts.
- Recognize gaps in the information provided.
- Discuss different interpretations of the same situation.
- Practice writing a clear incident narrative.
- Review their work and explain their reasoning.
Explore the Possibilities
Whether you teach an introductory criminal justice course, lead an academy class, or train new officers, we invite you to explore the scenarios and consider how they might support your instructional goals.
Help Shape the Resource
Your experience matters. We welcome feedback from professors, instructors, and police trainers about the topics, scenarios, and exercises that would be most useful to their students.
