Criminal Justice and Forensic Science
Reference Books
The Lakeland Library has substantial number of titles in its collection to support the Criminal Justice and Forensic Science programs @ LCC. The reference collection is usually an excellent starting point for research projects. Reference books are non-circulating items (they cannot be checked out) and are designed to be used to look for specific information rather than read cover to cover. Additionally, reference books contain bibliographic records that can lead to the discovery of further resources to support one's thesis. In some instances, the reference books are compiled or supported by primary source documents or case studies. In addition to reference materials, the Lakeland library offers a strong circulating collection to support both the Criminal Justice and Forensic Science programs as well. Materials related to Criminal Justice can be found in the collection by searching the subject Criminal Justice. A similar search under the Forensic Science subject heading will provide access to the Library's Forensic Science titles.
