What is deviant behavior and what drives people to engage in it?
Are some people predisposed to crime, or are criminal behaviors influenced by the settings and institutions in which individuals find themselves? These are just some of the questions that Emmanuel students majoring in Criminology & Criminal Justice address, along with the successes and failures of punishment and rehabilitation programs; the roles of victims, police, prosecutors and judges; and the origins of organized crime.
Criminology, the study of crime and criminal behavior—including causes and society's responses—involves the analysis of crime theory and related data and evidence. Rooted in the social justice mission of Emmanuel College, the purpose of the Criminology & Criminal Justice program is to equip you with the foundational knowledge, relevant academic skills, and ethical perspective on issues of justice, necessary for work within the criminal justice system.
