What it is	You study how law, social systems, and human rights work together to address inequality and protect people's freedoms. This program blends criminology, policy, and legal thinking rather than focusing on law or criminology alone. It suits students interested in social justice work, advocacy, or understanding how institutions can create fairer outcomes.	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.	This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.
