AB This paper describes the use of games and simulations in teaching criminal justice students and those in the related social sciences. The authors have utilized a two-week interim session (following the spring semester) to use this approach in illustrating a wide variety of concepts such as political power, conflict, cooperation and negotiation as applied to criminal justice and other governmental agencies. Two types of teaching tools--small group board games and large group simulations--have been utilized. While the interim class sessions run two and one-half hours each, many of the games and simulations are adaptable to shorter time periods or multiple class periods and, thus, are useful teaching devices for regular school terms^1.
