Criminology majors study crime in societies and the preventative strategies that could control these social behaviors. After taking core sociology courses, students will learn about topics such as forensic policies, the social psychology of crime, and how crime is perceived in popular culture. You will study criminology from an evidence-based and Catholic social justice perspective.
