SAN DIEGO, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The California School of Forensic Studies (CSFS) at Alliant International University has launched the California Institute for the Advancement of Forensic Behavioral Science, Public Safety, and Justice.

The Institute's Advanced Practice Certificates, all offered online, cover diverse subject areas while sharing one single objective: to prepare participants to effectively prevent and manage conflict and violence.

"The doubling of active shooter incidents, three consecutive years of violent crime increases, a 30-year high in the rate of suicides, and a quadrupling of the number of natural disasters over the last half century all illustrate the critical need for individuals with the passion and training to address the complex challenges we face today. Through the Institute, CSFS has the honor and privilege of offering another vehicle for providing education and training to passionate individuals who know that what we are experiencing now is not the world we need to live in tomorrow, and that we truly can do better," said Dr. Diana Concannon, Dean of the California School of Forensic Studies.

As a division of CSFS, the Institute is an official corporate sponsor of the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA). Many of the Advanced Practice Certificates are also eligible for Continuing Education credit through the American Psychological Association (APA). All are offered online by faculty experts who practice in their respective fields and bring their experience into the virtual classroom to transform theory into practice.

The Advanced Practice Certificates being offered are:

Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies

Forensic Linguistics

Forensic Victimology

Fundamentals of Correctional Psychology
