What it is	This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession.	You study crime, law, and social systems while learning practical skills in either community support or policing. The program combines a university degree in justice studies with a hands-on diploma, so you graduate qualified for immediate work in either field rather than just having theoretical knowledge. This suits people who want to work in criminal justice, victim support, or law enforcement and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom study.	You study how crime happens, why people commit crimes, and how the justice system responds through law, sociology, and social work. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you real experience in courts, police services, or community justice organizations alongside your classroom learning. It suits people curious about crime and the legal system who want both theory and hands-on workplace experience before graduating.
