Criminology (Co-Op) Bachelor

Drawing on sociological foundations, criminologists focus on wrong-doings, harms, and forms of victimization, investigating the conditions in which they arise, their causes, and consequences in light of debates and social conflicts about prevention and justice.

Criminologists systematically investigate how crimes, illegalities, and criminal behaviours are identified and how laws and regulations are enforced and administered. Equipped with specialized knowledge, social research skills, and theoretical tools, criminologists are able to advise the public, governments, and community groups about crime and harm prevention, policing, law, and public policy.

An Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminology provides rigorous training in central research and communication skills, methodology, analytical tools, and theory, combined with detailed learning about specific dimensions of crime. This degree opens the door to many career tracks including (but not limited to) police service, law (with additional studies), public and private security agencies, border services, intelligence, and immigration.
