In this Graduate Certificate program, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of traumatic loss, victims’ rights, and the impact of crime and victimization on individuals and their communities within the criminal justice system. The curriculum explores the interpersonal, community, and systemic violence, theories, and patterns of victimization through an intersectional trauma-informed, and victim-centered lens. Courses address topics such as intergenerational trauma, childhood abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, interpersonal and community violence, technology-facilitated violence, and sex-trafficking while including diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIB) principles. Graduates will be equipped to conduct risk assessment and referral, engage in advocacy, and collaborate with legal and victim service agencies. A capstone project offers practical experience in planning, delivering, and evaluating victim services and advocacy. |
