Course Information

Why Study Criminology?

Criminology focuses on all aspects of crime, including the causes of crime as well as its consequences. It also seeks to measure the effectiveness of society's responses to crime and propose ways to prevent and address criminal behavior. Criminologists help develop policies and procedures for communities and police departments, leading to improvements across the criminal justice system.

Why Study Criminology at Eastern?

The Criminology major examines the nature of criminal law, the causes of criminal behavior, and societal responses to crime and offenders. The program approaches the study of crime and crime problems primarily from a sociological perspective, with an emphasis on social inequality and diversity. Students who earn the degree enter the field with greater understanding of social and cultural differences, and how these impact experiences and attitudes about crime, offenders and the criminal justice system. The Criminology minor is also available to other majors.
