Criminal Justice, Anthropology, and Forensic Studies
PennWest Edinboro's Department of Criminal Justice, Anthropology, and Forensic Studies possesses enviable facilities, including high-tech crime scene classrooms and a Forensic Sciences lab, both located in Hendricks Hall. On campus, you'll find an advanced, full-secured, state-of-the-art Outdoor Forensic Research Center.
Hendricks Hall is one of the University’s busiest classroom buildings and home to several of the University’s academic departments and labs. In addition to Criminal Justice and its resources, the departments of Business and Economics; History, Politics, Languages, and Cultures; and ROTC—as well as the Oral History Studio—are housed in the building.
Hendricks Hall is also the place where many of our student organizations, including
the Criminal Justice Club and Alpha Phi Sigma (the National Criminal Justice Honor
Society) meet and hold events. If you are interested in criminal justice or forensic
sciences, there is always something to do in Hendricks Hall.
These specially equipped classrooms allow you to experience hands-on laboratory exercises,
including fingerprinting, development and lifting of latent fingerprints by a variety
of physical and chemical techniques, casting shoe track impressions, presumptive blood
detection and much more, related to criminal investigation.
