The Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Criminology is the only degree of its type in Victoria, focusing on both the causes of crime (criminology) and the fallout of crime (criminal justice). Students will learn about local and global criminality, traditional approaches and responses to crime, and emerging trends and practices. They'll examine the international dimensions of criminal justice as well as the technological advances that impact the sector, including an emphasis on predicting the commission of crime, detecting and stopping criminal behaviour, and implementing effective and efficient criminal sanctions. Graduates will possess the knowledge and skills to work in a range of sectors and industries, including policing and corrections. In this degree, in the unit Crime, Society and Culture (LAW30025), they'll team up with other students to work on a problems-based project briefed to you by an industry partner.
