Few issues attract more public attention and generate more public debate than those involving crime and victimization. Unfortunately these debates are too often based on emotion rather than the best available information. Students in Criminology 12 will be able to gain insights into the origin and maintenance of criminal behaviour, why some behaviours are criminal and others are not, and how the criminal justice system works. The overall objective is to provide students with the theories and methods necessary to better understand the realities of crime and control, which will allow them to participate and hopefully make a difference in these areas.
