174 CJI 0708: Program Evaluation I (3 credits) This course will examine key concepts, methods, and approaches in the field of program evaluation research. Students will be exposed to the theoretical and methodological diversity inherent in current evaluation practices across a number of substantive areas. The comprehensive range of activities involved in designing, implementing, and assessing the utility of social programs will be a primary focus of the course. CJI 0709: Program Evaluation II (3 credits) This course is intended to provide students with an in-depth and comprehensive foundation in advanced program evaluation methods. Topics will include the development and use of logic models, as well as the use of quasi- experimental and randomized designs in evaluation research. A wide range of data- collection procedures, including conventional (e.g., systematic surveys) and unconventional (e.g., trained observer ratings) will be highlighted. The course will introduce a range of strategies for analysis of evaluation data that will facilitate the use of statistical procedures in evaluation research, address qualitative approaches to analysis of evaluation data, and provide guidance on the application of cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit techniques in program evaluation. (Prerequisite HSHJ 708). CJI 0710: Data Analysis and Interpretation (3 credits) The purpose of this course is to provide you with a rudimentary understanding of data analysis and interpretation in order to help you read and understand research literature. No previous experience in statistics or data analysis is expected. The course is designed with a focus on you as a consumer of the research literature, not as the person doing the research (although you will get some suggestions about that as we go along). The course is designed to teach you concepts; it is not designed to teach you how to do statistics and thus it will not focus on statistical formulas or computation. Rather, this course will involve reading, writing, and, interpretation of basic research and statistical concepts and models. CJI 5000 CJI/HCP Student Orientation This course provides orientation information that will help the first-time user of the web classroom (WebCT). Participating students will receive information and be able to practice the skills learned which are necessary for successful participation in the online classroom environment. Students will learn technology skills such as using email, sending attachments, taking quizzes, chats, and discussion board usage... Criminal Justice Institute students should complete CJI/HCP 5000 during the same session that they take their first graduate course. CJI 6101 Fundamentals of Security Technologies (3 credits) An overview of the technical aspects of information security. Issues discussed include authentication, confidentiality, access control, trust and non-repudiation. Investigation of fundamental assurance technologies that can be applied to interface specifications, architectures, and implementations of information security mechanisms. The selection of appropriate security applications, security lifecycles, and interoperability issues will also be covered. Prerequisite: CJI 6750. CJI 6102 Information Security Management (3 credits) Provides an understanding to implement effectively the information security vision and strategy set forth by the executive management. The emphasis will be on the management of an information security program. Focus is on the implementation of information security policy, information security planning, development of information security processes, and establishment of information security measures. Concepts and techniques from the management and organizational behavior disciplines will be integrated in order to identify and propose solutions to the problems of information security administration. CJI 6103 Information Security Governance (3 credits) Challenges and opportunities of effectively governing an organization’s information security requirements and resources. Information security governance lays out the vision for the information security program. Discussions include what constitutes good information security governance, and development of an effective information security strategy and policy. Also focuses on how to improve information security accountability, regulatory compliance, and maturity. Prerequisite: CJI 6102. CJI 6104 Information Systems auditing (3 credits) Fundamental concepts related to an information systems audit. Principles and practices related to secure operation of existing information technology. Information security accountability, development of internal control objectives and framework, and identification of appropriate audit procedures for a secure information system. Prerequisites: CJI 6101 and CJI 6102. CJI 6105 Information Security Project (3 credits) This project course integrates all of the knowledge accumulated through the previous courses and serves as a capstone for the Concentration in Information Security. The class focuses on best practices demonstrated through case studies and systems assessment. Students may enroll in this class only after completing all of the information security concentration courses. Prerequisites: CJI 6101, CJI 6102, CJI 6103, and CJI 6104. CJI 6110 Criminal Evidence (3 credits) This first course in the criminal justice track will offer students an in-depth analysis of the Federal Rules of Evidence as a legal foundation for understanding criminal law and procedure.
