About

Understanding the drivers of crime

Understanding the drivers of crime is fundamental to devising the best ways of responding to it. Undertake an advanced research project in criminology working with world renowned experts across a range of diverse areas of contemporary relevance. You will join researchers who are working to create new knowledge in policing, organised crime, transnational migration, cybercrime and terrorism, and develop new ways of understanding prisons, desistance from crime, criminal networks, dark tourism, border and military criminology.

The Master of Arts (Women's Studies) offers a combination of coursework and a minor thesis. Topics cover areas such as feminist questions, gender and international development, Indigenous women, and media analysis.
