Overview

The Criminology Diploma introduces you to criminal law, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and case-law decisions made by the courts. You'll examine the three main components of the criminal justice system—police, courts, and corrections. You'll explore the trends and correlates of crime, including the influences of age, ethnicity, gender, and social class and how. The criminological focus is broadened with courses from other disciplines within the Social Sciences and Humanities.
