Dumont student travels to U.K.
Caitlin Lynch of Dumont spent two weeks in June participating in a study-abroad program that compared criminal-justice systems of the United States and the United Kingdom.
Caitlin, a junior, is a criminal-justice major at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Metropolitan Campus, Teaneck.
From June 9-23, students in the program were headquartered at Wroxton College, the British campus of Fairleigh Dickinson in the Cotswold Hills of England.
Wroxton College is between Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon and 70 miles from London. Site visits included several days in London, a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" and Warwick Castle.
The students studied with experts from the Metropolitan Police, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the head of Metropolitan Police Diversity and Citizen Focus Directorate, Senior Crime Scene Investigator Peter Berry, and went on field visits to British National Police, Peel Training Centre, Scotland Yard, Houses of Parliament, Old Bailey (central criminal court) and Bullingdon Prison.
British professionals guided students through the British criminal-justice system, policing in a multicultural society, courts and tribunals system (with Fellow Gillian Peele of Oxford University), combating drugs, criminal investigations, forensics and technologies and terrorism.
