Justice:
The Heart of What We Do
Criminology and Justice
Keeping people safe. making the world a better place—these things are not as simple as putting those who break the law in jail.
Justice is more complex than that, and our system needs people who can study and maintain it. We want you to ask questions about our social structures as a whole—to understand not just the implications our constructs have on crime, but what we can change for the better.
