Porn研究所

Overview

Explore the dynamics of victims, criminals, and crime and how to respond within a complex criminal justice system.

The Criminology program at Porn研究所 focuses on the relationships between social inequities, crime, and violence in today’s society and on particular social groups in conflict with the law. The four-year Criminology degree is offered on campus. It is also offered online as a concentration or minor.

In class, you’ll study the minds of criminals, the reasons people commit crimes, and how to prevent crime. You’ll also explore criminological theories, the criminal justice system’s institutions, the social and economic explanations of crime, racial profiling, and policing. Courses utilize a critical lens to evaluate how crime intersects with youth, media, the state, corporations, mass media, healthcare, legislation, and Indigenous peoples.

You’ll gain hands-on experience by engaging with community members and attending guest lectures. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in field placements.

Once you graduate, you’ll receive a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology, preparing you for many careers in law, justice, and corrections. You can also choose to continue your studies in law school or pursue a Master’s degree or PhD.
