"Backstabbed!" – An interactive crime scene for criminal justice students

Story courtesy Isabella Hudziak, Special Assignments Reporter for The Tangerine Layered in black paper and bright yellow caution tape lies a mock crime scene in Room 209 of the Economic Justice and Criminal Studies Building. The scene was set up on March 29 by Dr. Shanna Van Slyke for her Criminal Justice Communications course, otherwise known as CRJ 222. “It’s Monday morning, and the morning janitor came across a dead body in a study room,” read the instructions for the assignment. “It will become your job to reconstruct the crime scene for the jury.” “Experiential or reality-based education provides opportunities for students to apply the concepts, terms, or protocols that they are learning in the classroom,” said Professor of Practice-Criminal Justice Robert Swenszkowski. “Some of these elements and skills include: distractions, situational awareness, stress inoculation, critical thinking, mental acuity, decision-making skills, and overall communication.”
