Department of Criminal Justice


We live in a world where we are inundated with images of crime and injustice. Our nation spends billions annually on crime response and prevention. Unfortunately, public policies, programs and attempted solutions to our crime problem are too frequently driven by media imagery and public scares, rather than empirical reality. It is our departmental mission to contribute to ensuring humane, just, and effective crime and justice policies, programs and practices by providing our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become informed citizens and effective agents of justice.

The Department of Criminal Justice is home to students who are working to advance our understanding of crime and criminality, design better approaches to effectively address crime and the problems related to it, and to those interested in engaging in social justice. Our hands-on educational approach provides the groundwork for successful careers in criminal justice, forensic science, law, loss prevention, private security, and much more.

The mission of the Central Fingerprint Unit is to ensure compliance with state statutes and administrative codes requiring the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to conduct criminal history background checks. The Central Fingerprint Unit is responsible for the collection, review, interpretation and dissemination of all criminal history record information (CHRI). Any applicant 18 years or older applying for a position in a DHS or DCF program which requires a criminal history background check. The DHS or DCF program requesting the background check provides the applicant with a fingerprint request application. 

Via phone or web, applicants schedule an appointment with the authorized state vendor to be fingerprinted, providing the identifying information on the form. A government-issued ID is required in order to be fingerprinted. The Department of Human Services, through an authorized state vendor, uses an electronic fingerprint system. Once scanned, the fingerprints are electronically transmitted to the Division of State Police for processing of state and federal criminal background check.

Future and Your Freedom

I was dealing with a restraining order from an ex girlfriend. I spoke to many lawyers in San Diego ca, and after being in Jennifer Goldman’s office for the first time and talking about my case I knew she would be the one representing me. She was very professional, knew exactly what she was talking about, was comprehensive and gave me the confidence of knowing I was in the best hands I could be. Jennifer was on top of everything from day one and responded to any questions and doubts I had. She guided me thru the whole process and the outcome was we winning the case and the restraining order was dismissed. She is very professional, an expert, detailed and no question the best lawyer you can have represent you.

County Criminal History

The society will not get any monetary gain from the criminal case. In criminal case the court will sentence the accused to imprisonment if they are found guilty. Nothing more will happen. 2. The society cannot withdraw the case. The only remedy for the accused is to move the High Court for quashing of the charges. Charges will not be quashed on the mere ground that the society has nothing to gain from the criminal case. 3. If the case has not been fully investigated then the accused can move to High Court for a free and fair investigation. The quashing of case can be sought since there is a delay in the disposal thereof. High Court will decide whether to quash or sustain the case. 4. If the accused do not wish to face the trial then they may move to High Court for quashing if there is any ground for quashing.  A local Prince William County Criminal History Background Check can be performed for those who can prove their Prince William County residency and/or arrest. You must have two f
