Report writing is an essential workplace skill in the criminal justice field. Judges and other
professionals in the field will read these reports, sometimes under a very close lens, and depend on them
for accurate information. Therefore, it’s critical these reports contain the information justice
administrators need and follow state requirements. This course introduces a report writing process and uses
templates to teach how to prepare concise, complete, and correct reports common in the criminal justice
field. Hands-on activities will provide step-by-step guided practice for students to improve their report
writing skills, and technological trends related to criminal justice reporting will be examined.
