As the primary and most affordable access points to public postsecondary education the nation’s democracy, economy, and labor force are fundamentally founded on an educated citizenry. It is also clear that the number of Criminology and Criminal Justice (CCJ) programs, student enrollment, and faculty and staff hires have dramatically increased in the past two decades in the US (Cao, 2020; Stringer & Murphy, 2020). It is argued that this growth in CCJ reflect a historical social, cultural, and policy shift from social control to public-scrutiny about law enforcement and community relationships, especially for underresourced and marginalized minority communities (Russell-Brown, 2021; Stringer & Murphy, 2020). In essence, it can be argued that the expansive growth of CCJ in recent history is fundamentally being driven by the public and social demand for a systemic change of a criminal legal system that has historically and persistently reproduced racial/ ethnic disparities and inequality. This is important to consider while over 60,000 CCJ degrees are awarded annually and establishes that CCJ majors is much greater than many other social science disciplines (Sloan, 2019; Sloan & Buchwalter, 2017; Stringer & Murphy, 2020). This same pattern is also reflected in post-graduate degrees as well (Cooper, Updegrove, & Bouffard, 2019; Stringer & Murphy, 2020). Nevertheless, Latina/o/x individuals remain overrepresented in all aspects of the criminal legal system, yet Latina/o/x students remain underrepresented and marginalized.

Prison tours are a well-known experiential learning practice in criminal justice courses. Educators have emphasized the benefits of using prison tours in providing students with first-hand knowledge of the criminal justice system, but critics have questioned their educational value, and the subjectivity of students’ personal experiences are rarely considered. In this article, I use LatCrit to problematize the use of prison tours as pedagogical tools in criminal justice courses, focusing on my status as a Latinx scholar and educator. I combine counter-story telling and autoethnography to highlight my own prison tour experience. I question the educational benefits of prison tours and discuss the potential harms they can cause Latinx students who have previously come into contact with the criminal justice system.","PeriodicalId":46230,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE EDUCATION","volume":"34 1","pages":"342 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45479624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These expectations are compared to those of students majoring in lab sciences and non-lab fields. Variation by race and ethnicity are also assessed. Data were obtained from 188 undergraduate students at a single institution in Spring 2021 and Fall 2021 using an online survey. Results indicated that students’ estimates of their future salaries and job availability were accurate to current labor market conditions. Hispanics anticipated higher salaries and more salary growth than non-Hispanics. Criminal justice majors were attracted to jobs based on potential to help others, challenge, job tasks, salary, and the fun, thrill, or excitement of the job. Health majors were more drawn to features like salary and job availability. Criminal justice students were more likely than others to note power as well as prestige, recognition, or status as appealing job features.","PeriodicalId":46230,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE EDUCATION","volume":"34 1","pages":"169 - 184"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44125718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
