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% 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/.
