With the rise of popular television shows such as CSI, Criminal Minds and Law & Order, more people are developing an interest for careers in criminology.
Criminology is the study of crime and criminal behaviour. You will gain an understanding of criminal law and how a country responds to crimes through the criminal justice system.
This involves the study of policing, criminal behaviour, and transnational and international crimes. You will study the cause and prevention of crimes from a multidisciplinary approach.
The study of criminology will help you understand why people commit crimes, how to prevent them, and how we can improve the criminal justice system.
Graduation & Degree Awarded
