Criminology
Criminology is an interdisciplinary field that explores the causes, consequences, and prevention of crime and criminal behavior.

The course covers the historical development of criminology as a discipline and its evolution in understanding crime patterns and criminal justice systems. Students will explore various criminological theories, including classical, biological, psychological, sociological, and rational choice perspectives, to analyze the motivations behind criminal acts.
Topics also include the role of law enforcement, criminal investigations, and forensic techniques in apprehending and prosecuting offenders. Students will gain insight into the challenges and ethical considerations in criminal justice practices and the impact of policies on crime prevention and reduction.
Through case studies, discussions, and research projects, learners will critically analyze real-world crime scenarios and apply criminological principles to propose effective crime prevention strategies. The course emphasizes evidence-based approaches to criminal justice, encouraging students to consider the broader social context and systemic factors that influence crime rates.
By the end of this course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of crime and criminal behavior, enabling them to engage in informed discussions about crime-related issues and contribute to the development of evidence-based solutions in the field of criminology.
