BA (3 years) - with a major in Criminology in Sydney Australia | Macquarie University

Criminology explores crime, deviance, social regulation, and legal systems through an interdisciplinary lens. Modern criminologists examine diverse subjects such as justice systems, social conflicts, security measures, law enforcement, substance abuse, and violent behavior. Core focuses involve understanding criminal acts, their definitions, motivations behind offenses, and societal reactions to unlawful conduct.

The Criminology program integrates insights from policing, sociology, legal studies, and social policy to provide current theoretical frameworks. Students develop skills to analyze crime, law enforcement, social regulation, and legal matters using social science approaches. The curriculum covers the functions of judicial, policing, and policy institutions, along with past, present, and emerging trends in criminological thought.
