Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00279B
Crime and criminal behavior are topics that fascinate many of us. Why people commit crimes, how society should respond to crime and how can we prevent and minimize the harms associated with criminal behavior are some of the issues youll consider when you study criminology and justice at ECU. Your studies will encompass the whole system from how laws are made, through to how police, courts and corrections deal with people who break these laws. Youll also examine the concept of justice, and what it means to different groups of people in the criminal justice system, and to society more broadly. Importantly, we start to prepare you for employment as soon as you start. This preparation culminates in amazing opportunities such as workplace practicums, involvement in industry-based projects and work integrated learning via our own Criminal Justice Review Project. Our goal is to ensure that youre exposed to cutting-edge content and opportunities to help you decide how and where you want to contribute to the world of criminal justice.
