Description:

Crime, justice and the workings of the law are matters that affect us all and often dominate the news. This degree takes a critical and analytical view of the role and functions of the legal system, and examines its relationship with crime, criminal behaviour and criminal justice. You’ll explore issues such as the role and place of law in modern society, processes of criminalisation, violence, anti-social behaviour, and inequality, as well as global threats from cyber-crime, terrorism and human rights violations, and their implications for justice. You'll gain the ability to critically assess everyday understandings of crime and criminal justice, the social, political, economic, historical and ethical dimensions of law, and gain knowledge of the key institutions which make up criminal justice and legal systems.

Key features of the course

  • Explore the complex issues behind today’s crime, law and justice headlines
  • Understand, interpret and apply concepts about crime and law to 'real world' problems
  • Develop transferable employability skills to support career progression
  • Have an opportunity to gain practical experience by providing members of the public with legal advice in a virtual law clinic 

Please note, if you wish to gain a Qualifying Law Degree (QLD) you should select our Bachelor of Laws (Q79).

We also offer a Diploma of Higher Education in Criminology and Law (W52) that is the same in structure as the first two-thirds of this degree.
