Texas Criminal Justice

The Texas Government credentials document competencies including overall knowledge of the Texas government, policy, and politics. Though many of these positions require appropriate education at various levels and numerous types of training, a fundamental understanding of Texas government supports many aspects of the daily task and strategic decision-making. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to describe the Texas criminal justice system including the statistical profile of criminals and victims, the criminal prosecution process, the views about capital punishment, the Texas corrections system, and the process for making criminal justice policy.
