Academy of Criminal Justice Science Affiliation

Since 1976, the Academy of Criminal Justice Science (ACJS) recognized Alpha Phi Sigma as the Criminal Justice Honor Society. Since 1978, Alpha Phi Sigma has held its national conference in conjunction with the annual ACJS meeting. The Academy's continued support of Alpha Phi Sigma serves to enhance The Society’s purpose - the recognition of scholarly achievement in the field of criminal justice. Next year’s meeting, held in March 2011, will be in Toronto, Canada.

Publication

The official publication of Alpha Phi Sigma is The Docket. It is published three times a year, and is a general-interest publication containing scholarly/creative works of students, faculty and the events of the national and chapter groups. Chapters are encouraged to use The Docket to promote their activities and events.

The chapter may recommend anyone working in a field related to Criminal Justice as a professional member, provided they have worked in the field for at least two years, and hold a degree in Criminal Justice or related field and had a GPA of 3.2.
