In the last two years, membership to the Criminal Justice Section of CPA has increased by over 50% and we currently have over 320 members. Several membership benefits exist, namely in the receipt of information on issues pertinent to the criminal justice field. For example, we regularly disseminate e-mails to inform you of continuing education and employment opportunities, as well as other important news in the field. In addition, you will receive our semi-annual electronic publication, Crime Scene, featuring regular columns on topics related to forensic and correctional psychology, research briefs, reviews, and much more.
The annual cost of membership to the Section is $20. However, a reduced rate of only $5 is offered to full-time students! Membership fees support awards and prizes, as well as the section’s activities connected to the CPA annual convention (e.g., travel costs for invited speakers, hospitality, social events).
