Crime Science Subject regulations

Crime Science is a multi-disciplinary, evidence-based problem-solving subject that focuses on preventing victimisation by creating circumstances that reduce the likelihood of the commission of a specific type of crime at a particular time and place. It focuses on crime itself, broadly defined and its context, rather than on the criminal justice system.

To complete a minor in Crime Science, students must complete 60 points including CRSCI101, CRSCI201 and 30 points from the papers listed for Crime Science (of which, 15 points need to be above 100-level).

Note:

Only the Crime Science minor will be introduced in 2022.
