This study examines the impact of military discipline practices on the interpersonal relationships of criminology students at the College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE). Using personal interviews and a focused group discussion approach, it explores the types of military discipline enforced, the degree to which students integrate these practices into their daily lives, and the consequent effects on their interactions with family and friends. Findings suggest that students adopt various military discipline practices—such as maintaining proper appearance, respecting the chain of command, and observing military courtesy—which contribute to the development of qualities like punctuality, obedience, and self-regulation. These internalized behaviors appear to positively influence students’ social skills, fostering trust, communication, and cooperation within their personal relationships. The study concludes that military discipline significantly contributes to the personal development and social functioning of criminology students. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of addressing potential issues related to blind obedience in the implementation of military discipline within educational settings. Recommendations for mitigating such concerns, as well as suggestions for future research, are also provided.
