Application: Communication Skills used in Criminal Justice

It would be great to leave the world a better place than you found it through the results of your effective communication. Well-crafted and effectively delivered communication has the potential to do just that. Criminal justice is a great example because it is an integral component of society with the potential for reaching a wide audience base and having large implications and repercussions. The ability to identify when miscommunication occurs—by yourself or others—is critically important to improving the clarity and effectiveness of your own communication skills.

Consider how these skills might be beneficial in your current professional role or in a criminal justice role in which you are interested.

  • Proofreading
  • Writing clearly and without clutter
