Bachelor of Criminology in Crime Science

Crime science is an emerging field of study – and this is currently Australia’s only dedicated Crime Science course. You’ll focus on the immediate causes of rapidly growing crime rates where scientists are concerned with why, where, when, by whom and how a particular offence was committed. You’ll explore how science has a direct impact on solving and preventing crime. You’ll examine why there’s a need for many disciplines to come together in problem solving in this area. You’ll learn approaches used to identify crime hotspots and how patterns of crime have changed over time, examine criminal cases and learn how to critically evaluate police procedures, the judicial process and the interpretation of the forensic evidence.
