Description

Our program explores and critically analyzes criminological and sociological explanations of why people commit crimes. It also examines how societies define crime and who is considered a criminal. 

This 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 consistent with the principles of fairness, equality, peace and justice.

You may pursue the comprehensive program or a specialization in:

  • Criminal Justice
  • Policing in Society
  • Youth, Crime and Justice
  • Victimology and Victim Studies
