The fall semester is only three weeks old and there is already so much going on. The Criminology Club has resumed business and new officers have been chosen to replace those officers who graduated this past spring. This new group has many novel and exciting ideas that they are currently developing and I am excited to see where their originality leads them. The 2nd Annual Criminal Justice Symposium – Proof and Consequences, is to be held on October 29th and is expected to be a great success. The purpose of this year’s event is to educate law enforcement in the fundamental and exceedingly important investigative dictum of “Getting it Right.” Forensic specialists employed by the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Forensic Services will be on campus to instruct law enforcement officers as to the proper techniques for identifying, collecting, preserving, and analyzing evidence - so that investigative error and corresponding wrongful convictions do not occur. The event will be culminate with a lecture presented by Mr. Kirk Bloodsworth; who became the first death sentenced individual in the United States to be exonerated of a crime, and found to be factually innocent directly resultant to DNA analysis. He is a very impressive individual whose personal story of Proof and Consequences provides an unparalleled source from which current law enforcement, criminology students and society in general can come to understand exactly why we must…get it right. Our journey continues….
