In the first year of Bachelor of Justice (Criminology and Violence Prevention) you will study core units to explore a range of subjects that will help you make an informed decision about what to specialise in. Build a solid foundation and learn about the justice sector, criminal justice system, justice and inequality, professional communication, and justice research methods.
From year two you will then begin to specialise in your criminology and violence prevention major. You will learn about how technology may be used to perpetrate crime and respond to crime problems, how to explain and prevent crime, causes and prevention of youth crime, action and advocacy for child protection, domestic and family violence as well as understanding trauma in criminology.
You have the flexibility to then choose from a variety of different complementary study options including a second major or a mix of minor and unit options from other bachelor of justice topics or a university wide subject.
If you have a keen interest in learning about forensic criminology, you can choose to study the forensic investigations and criminology minor combined with additional complementary units of your choice.
As part of your final year studies you will also work on two capstone units; one core and one of your choice. In the core unit, First Nations (In) Justice, you will explore colonial history, the impact of crime and policing policy on First Nations people, and culturally safe ways to achieve justice with First Nations communities. With your second capstone unit you can choose to go on a professional justice work placement, embark on an international study tour, or to embed yourself in an Indigenous justice-focused organisation.
