exposure to various facets of their agencies' operations, in order to allow them to
learn about criminal justice in action while performing work beneficial to the
agencies. It offers an opportunity for the intern to observe the agency's
organization from an insider's perspective, to interact with agency personnel and
clients, and to participate in some of the work of the agency. These agency
experiences may assist a student in assessing career options while allowing him or
her to compare and contrast academic knowledge about criminal justice with its
clinical application in the field. |

general plan for the course and that deviations announced to the class by the
instructor may be necessary. (www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/academic_honesty.htm). |
