What it is	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.	You study the causes of crime, how the criminal justice system works, and the policies governments use to address crime and social issues. This honours program includes a mandatory co-op placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in law enforcement, courts, policy offices, or related organizations. It suits people interested in understanding crime prevention and criminal law from a policy angle, especially those who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.	You study political science and education together in one four-year degree, earning both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education at the same time. This means you take courses in politics and social policy alongside education theory and teaching methods, preparing you to teach social studies or civics while deepening your understanding of political systems. It suits people who want to enter teaching but also want strong grounding in a subject area beyond just pedagogy.
