Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology with Psychology

Understand how psychology can be applied to explain aspects of crime and criminal behaviour. This course will provide students with the opportunity to explore criminological issues alongside a psychological focus, and it will offer new ways of thinking about society while honing their understanding of people. Students will engage with assumptions about the place of crime in society and our responses to it, and through social research they will gain an understanding of the causes and effects of crime and deviant behaviour. By using a range of psychological approaches to study human behaviour and thought, they will understand why people respond the way they do to crime.
