Criminology is the study of criminal behavior, its causes and consequences, and the way in which society responds to those who have been identified as criminal or deviant. Criminology can be viewed as an integrated approach to the study of crime and it combines elements of knowledge from a variety of disciplines. Students of criminology are exposed to a wide variety of theories of criminal behavior as well as to a diverse range of analysis of the criminal justice system. The independent major in Criminology offered within the Bachelor of Arts degree programme provides an appropriate background for entry-level positions in the field of criminal justice as well as for admission to professional and graduate programme in criminology and related fields.

When asked what one word best describes the sociology and criminal justice major at St. Thomas, a faculty member responded, “imagination!”
A real student asks:
Does studying four different disciplines better prepare
me for a job?
A sociology and criminal justice faculty member responds: I always tell students that studying different disciplines gives a more rounded perspective on the work. For example, even an engineer needs to understand human relations to work in teams and in organizations. Moreover, that same engineer needs to be able to think about social systems and social change to anticipate where her industry is going.
