Abstrakt: Criminalistics courses are found in the undergraduate curriculum of many criminal justice degree programs. This paper represents an assessment of these courses in terms of both their educational appropriateness and their relationship to crime laboratory employment. On the basis of responses from a national survey of crime laboratory directors, serious reservations exist about the educational appropriateness of these courses. It is clear that the completion of an array of criminalistics courses will not qualify graduates for laboratory employment. Several suggestions are offered in response to the survey findings.
