Book excerpt: This book contains an academic research study that assesses whether there is a significant difference in the levels of emotional intelligence between criminal-justice college students who were enrolled in an experiential program and criminal-justice college students who were enrolled in a didactic program. The participants were given the thirty-three item Schutte, Malouff, Hall, Haggerty, Cooper, Golden, and Dornheim (1998) Emotional Intelligence Scale to measure levels of emotional intelligence. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence is directly related to hands-on training. Thus, because emotional intelligence may prove beneficial in the field, criminal-justice programs may want to consider offering some application-based courses.
