Overview

Key Features

Crime is an issue that governments and communities face every day. To stop crime, we must examine how and why it happens. Criminology is the study of crime, criminality and criminal justice systems; it focuses on criminalisation as a process, the causes of crime, the social context of offending, crime prevention, systems of social control, and the punishment and rehabilitation of offenders.

Our case studies include examples from across the world as well as what happens in our local communities. We look at everything from cybercrime, murder and theft through to corruption and environmental crime. Over the course of this major you will come to understand the main features of criminology as an academic discipline and be able to apply criminological theories, concepts and evidence. You will learn to analyse the causes and responses to crime as well as critically evaluate explanations of crime at local, national and global levels.

This Criminology major from University of Tasmania will provide the knowledge and skills to work in criminal justice agencies and develop initiatives and agendas for change. Some specific areas where you may find work include policing, crime prevention, corrections and policy research. Units can be studied both on-campus and online.
