Overview

The program helps to diversify your knowledge through courses in youth justice, addiction and crimes, and crimes against humanity.

The Criminology and Policing program at Wilfrid Laurier University was designed following extensive consultations with law enforcement agencies across Canada and its content is steered by an advisory board of law enforcement professionals. These partnerships between academia and industry ensure that your education will be as relevant and up-to-date as possible, while equipping you with the practical and theoretical perspectives, methods and research tactics needed to make a meaningful difference in the world.

The criminology aspect of this degree digs deep into the causes and effects of crime, giving you a rich understanding of crime's impact on society and how the way a society is structured can influence crime rates and prevention. Throughout your courses, you'll navigate criminal justice as it relates to both the victim and the perpetrator, and develop valuable skills in leadership, communication, ethics and building resilience.
