Criminal justice and criminology

Crime, its causes and consequences directly impact on all public and private sector institutions and on every member of society. The discipline of criminal justice and criminology interprets, analyses and evaluates critical aspects of crime, crime prevention and the criminal justice process. People interested in pursuing research into the criminal justice system and related criminological issues are invited to apply. All relevant research topics will be considered, subject to the availability of supervision. Joint interdisciplinary supervision can be arranged.

Current academic strengths relevant to the criminal justice and criminology disciplines include accountability in the criminal justice system, public order policing, situational crime prevention, causes of crime, policing industrial disorder, anti-corruption bodies, police- government relations, comparative policing, histories of policing and criminal justice ethics.
Supervision for PhD and Master of Arts by research (100 per cent research) candidates is currently offered in criminal justice and criminology. Students may apply for research degrees at any time. See the entries for research masters degrees and Doctor of Philosophy in the Arts research section for course details and entry requirements. See also http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/about/.
