What the college says

Not all types of crime are alike. What different types of crime take place in our society? How do we decide what behaviour is criminal? An understanding of criminology is relevant to many job roles within the criminal justice sector, including police officers, probation and prison officers, and social workers. With their critical thinking, analytical and communication skills, criminology graduates are also attractive to employers outside the criminal justice sector in areas such as social research and politics.
