Seven ACJS members attended the UN Congress in Brazil. They were Dr. Jay Albanese, </p><p>Virginia Commonwealth University; Dr. Philip Reichel, University of Northern Colorado; </p><p>Dr. Rosemary Barbaret, John Jay College; Dr. Denise Kindschi Gosselin, Western New </p><p>England College; and Dr. Joanne Katz and David Tushaus, Missouri Western State </p><p>University; and Dr. Janice Joseph, Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. These members participated in a workshop which was entitled International Criminal Justice Education for the Rule of Law and organized by ACJS for the UN Congress. Jay Albanese presented a paper on international education and training in criminal justice and the rule of law. According to the Dr. Albanese, a small “industry” has emerged in which education, training and technical assistance are carried out by NGOs, international bodies, individual countries, and private consultants. The result, however, is an uneven mixture of educational and training programs that are not always provided to the places most in need of these programs, in a form that is most useful, or by the best available providers. He recommended that the response to the need for international education and training in criminal justice requires more systematic planning. Dr. Reichel focused on teaching the rule of law in criminal justice and law school courses in the United States. He reviewed how some criminal justice and law school courses in the U.S. incorporate the rule of law into their curricula and identified specific pedagogical techniques for teaching the rule of law. Dr. </p><p>Barbaret discussed the internationalization of research methods and the importance of teaching international comparative research methods in international criminal justice education for the rule of law. She specifically examined how research methods connect to the rule of law and what benefits students can from learning these methods. The presentation by Dr. Gosselin critically examined whether the training and education of police officers, who deal with domestic violence, are consistent with the rule of law. She recommended the integration of domestic violence law and powers of arrest as minimum standards for all domestic violence education and training. The final presentation by Drs. Katz and Tushaus identified how criminal justice faculty can use service learning in an election law class as an effective way to encourage civic engagement, while teaching the importance of the rule of law. Dr. Joseph was the moderator for the ACJS workshop. She also presented on two workshops; one on violence in school and the other on violence against women. Dr. </p><p>Albanese also moderated a UN workshop on Drug Trafficking and Links to Organized </p><p>Crime.</p>
