The major purpose of the Criminology & Criminal Justice minor is to provide an expanded and more focused concentration on the study of criminology and the criminal justice system regarding 1) the study of deviance and the incidence and explanations for delinquency and crime; 2) methods of prevention and control of delinquency and crime; 3)  characteristics and practices of the criminal justice system.  Moreover, students will select a set of courses that add on to parts of this core, such as the study of women and crime, and the comparative study of crime in different societies.  Students will broadly analyze the origins, causes, and consequences of crime and the structure of the criminal justice system in order to gain great mastery of this socially important and very timely topic.
