| 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. The Criminology and Justice 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. The Victimology and Victim Studies specialization can be taken with the Criminology and Justice program.
