Criminal justice - Faculty of Arts

Offered by the School of Humanities, Communication and Social Sciences

Criminal Justice addresses the complex issue of crime and the way in which it affects the lives of us all. It provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the diverse nature of crime, to identify and evaluate stages in the criminal justice process, to critically assess its performance and to consider new and radical alternatives for dealing with crime. Students study issues that compare and contrast regional, state, national and international crime and crime prevention policies, including public safety and security issues. The degree adopts an inter-disciplinary approach which includes psychological studies, sociology and indigenous studies perspectives.
