Crime serves as a lens into societal challenges, values, and ambitions - from its definition and root causes to our collective responses. Criminology examines power dynamics, justice systems, and social control across national and international contexts. Students explore crime causation theories, societal perceptions, and response strategies while evaluating the criminal justice system's successes and shortcomings. Our research influences policy changes and legal reforms in areas like plea bargaining, homicide, domestic violence, and youth justice.
