Bachelor of Arts - Criminology (RAP)

Justice served is about so much more than crime and punishment. In Trent University’s new Criminology degree, students will gain a foundational understanding of the influence of social inequality as a cause of crime. Learning alongside faculty experts in Sociology, Law, Gender & Social Justice and Indigenous Studies, as well as the new Canada Research Chair in Community-Partnered Social Justice, students will apply their skills and knowledge to better understand the systems at play for both criminals and victims. Students also have the potential to perform independent research on homelessness, the criminalization of women, as well as gain critical understanding of the realities of Indigenous peoples’ and the criminal justice system.
