Course overview

Learn about the role criminology plays in understanding crime and how we deal with it, as well as the impact of criminal justice interventions on offenders, victims, and society more broadly. 

A bachelor's degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice draws upon knowledge and perspectives from disciplines including criminology, law, psychology, history, anthropology, geography, and forensic science. Through this, you’ll be exposed to the breadth of contemporary criminology and criminal justice issues.

With core criminology content, you’ll learn about contemporary explanations for crime and criminality, the current structure of the criminal justice system, transnational and international crime, best practice approaches to working with offenders, national and international factors impacting on criminal justice policy-making and approaches to prevent contemporary crime and justice problems in Australia.
