MA in International Crime & Justice

MoSiao Fang is an accomplished security professional with over a decade of experience in security management, maritime law enforcement, and criminal justice. With a Master’s degree in International Crime and Justice (ICJ) from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, MoSiao has honed skills in crime analysis, risk assessment, and project management. The rigorous coursework, such as ICJ 700: International Crime and Justice Theory and ICJ 715: Research Methods, provided by the program has enhanced his analytical and critical thinking abilities, equipping him to tackle complex global crime and justice challenges. Recommended by the Program Director, he seized the opportunity to participate in the Global Development Initiative Fellowship Program through the United Nations Initiative for Training and Research (UNITAR), conducting research under the mentorship of former ambassadors and diplomats. Additionally, he earned an Advanced Certificate in Transnational Organized Crime Studies (ACTOCS) as part of this program.

By integrating criminological theories, international development, and legal expertise, the ICJ program provided a multidisciplinary foundation for crafting innovative solutions to transnational crimes, strengthening his knowledge of comparative criminal justice systems globally, and expanding future opportunities. These included internships with the Department of Investigation, New York City Government, and the Department of Safety and Security at the UN Headquarters, which culminated in his recognition as a recipient of the “Wen First Gen” Scholarship.

These diverse experiences, spanning transnational crime analyses—such as terrorism, drug smuggling, and human trafficking—to addressing environmental issues like illegal wildlife trade and IUU fishing, reflect MoSiao’s strong commitment to enhancing global security operations and promoting justice in his ongoing career journey.
