flyer) Schedule of Events for April 11-12, 2008 On Saturday, April 12, 2008, Dr. Marcus Felson, a world renowned criminologist and researcher, will speak and entertain questions about his book, Crime and Nature. This is the first text to provide students with a perspective for thinking about crime and how modern society can reduce crime's ecosystem and limit its diversity. This is a unique opportunity for students, faculty and practitioners to engage the author in an open discussion of his theory, research, and evaluation of criminal justice policy and practice. The event will be held from 10am until 4pm on Saturday, April 12, 2008 in The Bonnie. The session includes a catered box lunch and a presentation by a regional crime analyst. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. To register, log on to the Radford University Conference Services website at: http://www.radford.edu/~conf-serv/. Questions about registration should be directed to Conference Services at conf-serv@radford.edu or 540-831-5800.

Registration is required; please complete and submit the registration form (pdf file) prior to the event. Refreshments will be provided by the Department of Criminal Justice in collaboration with the Criminal Justice student club. The opening speaker will be Dr. Neil Hibler, who founded a company that conducts background and psychological evaluations for many criminal justice agencies. He will speak about preparing for employment in the criminal justice field. Sessions will be organized based on sub-fields within criminal justice; including law enforcement, corrections, courts and legal careers, wildlife and environmental enforcement, graduate school, and federal and state agency employment. The Radford University Department of Criminal Justice faculty will be in attendance, along with professionals and practitioners from across the field. Panelists will present advice, strategies and tips for seeking employment in a variety of criminal justice fields. Each attendee will receive a folder containing materials related to obtaining a career in criminal justice. Many of these focus on general interviewing and resume/cover letter construction, along with a number of handouts related to specific criminal justice career fields. Much of this material is subject-specific and includes suggestions for successful application processes. These faculty-prepared materials and other employment links will also be made available on the employment section of the department’s website. The Radford University chapter of Lambda Alpha Epsilon will host a Recruitment and Career Fair on Saturday, April 12, 2008, from 10am-4pm in Cook Hall 107. Agencies from around the Commonwealth and the region will be available to discuss job opportunities within their organizations. More than 100 criminal justice agencies have been invited to participate.
