What is the Justice Institute?

Why Extension Programs?

The Justice Institute of British Columbia is a post secondary educational organization that provides training and education programs to people working within the fields of justice and public safety. The majority of
people trained atthe Justice Institute are employees of B.C.'s Corrections,
Court Services, Police, Fire and Emergency Health Services.
·
In addition to training programs for career professionals offered by their
Academies, the Justice Institute through the Extension Programs branch
offers a wide range of non-credit courses to a broad range of professionals, community groups and interested citizens.

By offering courses and workshops for individuals and groups in the
area of justice and public safety, the Justice Institute provides:
• a forum for the discussion of justice and public safety issues
• information and education on B.C.'s justice and public safety system
• training to increase participants' skills in dealing effectively with the
system.

Interdisciplinary Programs: workshops on current issues in the
justice and public safety system are designed for representatives of a
broad range of professionals, community groups and interested citizens.
Recent examples include programs on Sexual Abuse of Children Within
the Family, Crisis Intervention, Mediation and Adolescent Suicide.
Public Programs: to increase the public's awareness of their rights
and responsibilities in relation to justice and public safety; examples
include sessions on Burglary Prevention in the Home; Schemes, Scarns
and Cons (a course for senior citizens on ways to protect themselves) and
Heart Savers (a basic course in cardiac pulmonary resuscitation.)
Programs for Private Agencies or Community Groups: skill
building sessions designed for one group or several agencies with a common training need; Leadership Skills, Stress Management, and Skills
for Communicating with Clients are recent examples.
Extension programs staff initiate programs or respond to requests
based on specialized needs. Projects are either sponsored solely by the
Justice Institute or developed in conjunction with other organizations.
Some programs are held at the Justice Institute; however, staff have a
provincial mandate and work co-operatively with other groups to organize
programs throughout B.C.

In addition to the programs contracted for by the Academies at the Justice Institute, a range of interdisciplinary and public programs are offered on a feefor-serv/ce basis. Schedules for these programs are produced three times a year and distributed to a wide cross-section of people interested in justice and
pub/le safety education.
