Bachelor of Arts (Criminology)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationCriminology draws knowledge and perspectives from a range of disciplines such as law, sociology, psychology, psychiatry and history. It continually questions how and why different societies define and respond to crime. And it asks why approaches to punishment have varied so much from era to era.
Increasingly, criminologists also study the ways cultures depict crime, in mass-media, news, through to film and art. If you’re interested in the why and how of the human condition - and the shadows that lurk behind the individual and organisations - the specialised field of criminology can lead to interesting places. A major in criminology could also see you making waves in the area of sociology, where you’ll work to understand and solve current social issues.
