Mission Statement | Contact Information | Welcome - Crim President |
| Criminology
is an interdisciplinary social-behavioral science which includes systematic study in the
theory of crime, social foundations of criminal behavior, theories of punishment and
social structural components of the legal and criminal justice systems. The program uses a
social-psychological model to focus on the etiology of crime, criminal behavior and
societal reaction to crime.
Criminology majors may enter
occupational fields such as law enforcement, correctional counseling, probation and parole
work, immigration and naturalization services, investigation services, institutional
corrections, and community based corrections. |
