Criminology

About this course

Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminals, and the ways in which societies respond to criminal behaviour. It draws on sociology, psychology, law, politics, and philosophy to ask why crime occurs, who commits it, how it affects victims and communities, and whether the criminal justice institutions and practices that societies have developed actually achieve the goals of justice, deterrence, and rehabilitation that justify them. Studying criminology is both intellectually demanding and practically relevant to some of the most pressing questions in contemporary social life. At Arden University, this three-year full-time programme is taught with an innovative assessment model that has a real-world focus, embedding skills you can use in your future career. You will study theories of crime and deviance, criminal justice policy, victimology, the sociology of law, and the politics
