RECOMMENDS ESTABLISHMENT OF A CENTRALIZED CENTER TO DEVELOP CONTINUOUS CAREER EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR PERSONNEL THROUGHOUT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
Abstract
THE RESOURCES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA, MOBILIZED IN A FLEXIBLE CRIMINAL JUSTICE CENTER, IS THE RECOMMENDED BASIC PROGRAM DESIGN. THE CENTER WOULD HAVE A CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH EXISTING TRAINING PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION FUNCTION OF THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE. AS A RESULT OF ALASKA'S CULTURAL DIVERSITY, POPULATION DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS, AND SPECIFIC CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROBLEMS AT THE VILLAGE LEVEL, A BUSH JUSTICE PROGRAM IS RECOMMENDED THAT WILL INCLUDE TRAINING VILLAGE TEAMS AND ESTABLISHING REGIONAL CENTERS. A RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT UNIT IS ENVISIONED AS A SUPPORT UNIT FOR THE OTHER MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS OF THE CENTER TO DO PROBLEM ANALYSIS, OPERATIONAL RESEARCH, AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER.
