Course Overview If you want to prevent crime before it happens and build a safer, fairer world, this double degree is for you. The Bachelor of Criminology & Criminal Justice / Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at UNSW combines two in-demand fields of study, giving you the knowledge and practical skills to understand criminal behaviour and drive progress towards stronger, more secure communities. In the Bachelor of Criminology & Criminal Justice (BCCJ) degree, you’ll explore crime, social control and the legal system. Key Program Highlights You’ll examine issues such as victimisation, youth justice, drug-related harm and community safety, while developing the research and policy skills to turn theory into action.
