Despite their pervasive role in the practice of criminal justice, values are deemphasized in the criminal justice curriculum. We describe an effort in curricular reform which corrected this neglect by incorporating values education into the introductory course. The goals of values education are discussed. We review the general design requirements, teaching techniques, and course materials which, in our experience, work best in a revamped course. We emphasize the advantages of selectivity in topics, small class size, participatory teaching, probative discussion, and case studies.
