TU’s Cold Case Sumer Camp is an immersive camp that will acquaint high school students with cold case work and introduce them to the many concepts involved in the solving of cold cases. Students will be exposed to both mock and real cold cases in a hands-on capacity. The camp will be led by TU School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences faculty and professionals experienced in conducting criminal investigations at all levels.
Activities in the camp will include: participation in mock and real cold case work, organization of cold case files, overview of evidence evaluation in criminal cases, examining materials, overview of how cold cases develop and are solved including the approaches used by professionals in the field, lessons in victimology and suspectology in the solving of cold cases and basic investigation as well as data analysis techniques.
“Our Cold Case Summer Camp is perfect for high school students with a keen interest in criminal justice,” said Dr. Pete Piraino, Dean for the School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences. “It offers a unique opportunity to explore the world of cold case investigations, learn from experienced faculty and become familiar with TU’s Cold Case Fellowship Program.”
