What to watch for
Direct entry at low-70s (DLE co-op). Ontario Tech publishes an unusually wide set of justice codes: Criminal Justice (DAU), Youth Crime and Justice (DAW), Victimology (DAV), Policing in Society (DAM), Legal Studies (DAL) and Forensic Psychology (DPS), all low-70s. Ontario Tech publishes nearly every major twice, a base code and a co-op code, usually at the same range.
