Abstract
College students' perceptions and how those viewpoints can be impacted by education are vital to many academic fields, especially that of criminology and criminal justice. This research project measured college student perceptions toward general aspects of criminality and community corrections sanctions in addition to their change in perceptions once exposed to a high-impact learning practice in an upper-level undergraduate community corrections course. Overall, significant changes in attitudes were noted between male and female students and students who reported not having experience as a victim of crime from those who do have victimization experience. The current study has the potential to help scholars better understand if student views toward criminality and community corrections programming are impacted by high-impact learning practices in the classroom as well as to assist in the future implementation of high-impact practices within community corrections courses.
