The Criminology department provides advanced degree programs culminating in a Master of Arts (MA) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Criminology.
This field applies scientific methods to study crime, justice, and societal regulation. It explores four key areas: how societies define norms and criminality; why certain behaviors and groups become criminalized; how justice systems operate and achieve their objectives; and modern approaches to intervention and control.
