Criminology examines crime through an interdisciplinary lens, analyzing it as both an individual and societal issue. This field investigates the roots of criminal behavior, its various manifestations, contributing factors, impacts, and how societies and governments respond. Ideal for those with broad academic interests, criminology helps cultivate analytical thinking and a critical perspective.
This program delves into the connections between criminology and psychology. Students considering or enrolled in the joint major should consult advisors from both departments.
