Criminology and Justice

About

Examine why crime is not committed in a vacuum, and how it relates to the police, courts, corrections, the juvenile system and various social and government agencies.

Our program explores and critically analyzes criminological and sociological theories of why people commit crimes. It also examines how societies define crime and who is considered a criminal. Our program approaches the study of crime from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on a rich tradition from criminology, sociology, philosophy, psychology and law. In addition to examining why crime is committed, you will be encouraged to think about crime, criminal justice and its administration in ways that are consistent with the principles of fairness, equity, peace, and justice.

You may pursue the comprehensive program or a specialization in:

Criminal Justice
Youth, Crime and Justice

A limited number of fourth-year students have an opportunity to participate in a learning experience with a community organization. The practicum is an experiential learning tool that provides students with opportunities to acquire workplace skills and knowledge, confront the relationship between theory and practice, and cultivate a sense of personal and professional development. The practicum course consists of 100 hours of fieldwork, several in-class seminars and a set of academic assignments.
