Abstract While research has examined criminal justice students in traditional university settings, a predominately Black college, and a military college, no one has looked at CJ students in outreach centers. These centers allow students to pursue a four-year degree without leaving their community. Students are exposed to limited diversity because of this setting. Previous studies found that lower division male freshman CJ students were of a higher Right-Wing Authoritarian (RWA) mindset. Based on our study, we conclude that having a CJ program at an outreach center produces a broader finding. A young male CJ student at an outreach center is more prone to RWA attitudes – similar to the mindset of a military college CJ major. However, a young male CJ major does not necessarily mean lower division. We found older students tend to have lower RWA attitudes and in this setting, it is common to have older lower division students.

外展中心刑事司法专业的威权主义幽灵：大学外展工作是否会滋生右翼威权主义？

摘要 虽然研究调查了传统大学环境中的刑事司法学生，主要是黑人学院和军事学院，但没有人关注外展中心的 CJ 学生。这些中心允许学生在不离开社区的情况下攻读四年制学位。由于这种环境，学生接触到的多样性有限。之前的研究发现，较低级别的男性新生 CJ 学生具有较高的右翼威权主义 (RWA) 心态。根据我们的研究，我们得出结论，在外展中心开展 CJ 计划会产生更广泛的发现。外展中心的年轻男性 CJ 学生更倾向于 RWA 态度——类似于军事学院 CJ 专业的心态。但是，年轻的男性 CJ 专业并不一定意味着较低的部门。
