Criminology & Criminal Justice, within the Department of Behavioral Sciences, is a diverse field grounded in philosophy, which searches for answers to why people commit crimes, or whether there is such a thing as a born killer.

 

Criminology strives to understand the nature of crime and society, and the theoretical underpinnings that guide how people are punished, controlled or rehabilitated. The curriculum allows you to learn about the Criminological perspective, and gives you an understanding of the theoretical perspectives of the field.
