Focused on Program Improvement. Built for Simplicity.
Effective assessment starts with tools that simplify the process and deliver actionable data. Whether you're preparing for internal reviews, addressing institutional requirements, or refining your curriculum, our solution helps you make sense of what your students know and where they need support.
The Criminal Justice Assessment is a fully online, customizable tool that measures student knowledge across core criminal justice topics and sociology topics. It is appropriate for associate, bachelor’s, and graduate-level programs and delivers normed, summative, and objective results that support institutional effectiveness and inform quality assurance.
Data You Can Use Right Away
You’ll have access to 14 reports that make it simple to analyze trends, compare learner groups, and communicate program performance. Reports are ready to use, clearly formatted, and include visualizations to simplify interpretation.
- Internal Reports: Measure overall program-level performance.
- External Reports: Benchmark results against peer institutions.
- Individual Reports: Track each student’s performance and growth.
- Comparative Reports: Compare results across student groups and time periods to uncover trends and gaps.
In addition to your 14 reports, each student receives a Learner Assessment Report that shows how they performed and how they compare to reinforce what they’ve learned and how far they’ve come.
Simple to Configure and Easy to Implement
Every criminal justice program is different. Our solution is designed to adapt. Customize your experience with topic selection, delivery options, integration, and student survey questions.
Options include:
- Choose from core and supplemental sociology topics or if you don’t see what you need, provide the questions and we’ll build a custom topic for you.
- Deliver via a school-branded microsite or integrate with your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, etc.).
- Benchmark your results against other criminal justice programs

Inbound/Outbound Assessment Construct
Peregrine’s Inbound/Outbound assessment construct measures student learning from the beginning to the end of a program. This approach provides a more complete understanding of student achievement.
While many institutions choose to implement both assessments to track growth over time, the model is flexible, and you can use just an Outbound assessment if a single measure better fits your program needs.
"Our experience with Peregrine has been an absolute pleasure! They consistently provide swift and helpful responses, whether it’s a simple clarifying question or collaborating on a custom report. The assessments they offer are highly customizable, aligning seamlessly with our curriculum and enhancing student learning. Additionally, their user-friendly reporting tools provide valuable analytics, making data sharing with stakeholders a breeze."
