Minor in Criminology
Criminology is the study of the causes, prevention and treatment of criminal behavior, and the social and environmental factors that are associated with crime in society.
Criminology explores the relationship between the field of criminology, criminal justice organizations, and social service agencies whose responsibility it is to control crime and protect society.
Controlling crime requires knowledge of individual and social factors that lead to criminal behavior, along with strategies and practices to control crime.
