The Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice majoring in Aboriginal Studies emphasises the importance of Aboriginal knowledges and experiences, and provides the knowledge necessary to affect meaningful change. You'll explore contemporary criminal justice issues, crime control and corrections and build a solid understanding of Australian criminal law. The major offers a unique opportunity to learn to listen to Aboriginal voices and to gain valuable insights into Aboriginal ways of thinking and being. You'll gain a broad understanding of Aboriginal social, economic and political systems and the relationship of these systems to Country, belonging and wellbeing. Learning first-hand from Aboriginal academic staff, and non-Aboriginal tutors with extensive experience working closely with Aboriginal communities, you'll develop an understanding of criminal justice approaches that respect Aboriginal rights, knowledges and experiences.
