Criminology and Justice Studies

Criminology and Justice Studies examine the nature, causes, and effects of crime, as well as the systems designed to address it. Criminology explores why people commit crimes, patterns of criminal behavior, and social factors influencing crime. Justice Studies focus on the justice system’s functions, including law enforcement, courts, and corrections, and how they aim to maintain social order, ensure fairness, and rehabilitate offenders. Together, they provide an understanding of crime from social, psychological, and legal perspectives, preparing individuals for careers in criminal justice, policy-making, research, or community service.
