• Introduction to Criminal Justice (CRMN 1000U)
  This course provides an analysis of historical and contemporary theory and practices of the criminal justice system. In addition to an analysis of crime data, the course will also examine the role and function of each component of the criminal justice system: the police, the court system, corrections, prisons and alternatives to prisons.
• Introductory Psychology (PSYC 1000U)
  This course introduces students to the study of human thought and behaviour. Through a survey of major theories, principles, and research findings across a variety of fields within psychology, students will gain a better understanding of why people think and behave as they do. Typical topics include: the history of psychology, research methods, sensation and perception, learning, memory, emotion and motivation, consciousness, stress and health, social influences, developmental factors, psychological disorders and treatment.
• Introductory Sociology (SOCI 1000U)
  Sociology is the study of people and how they interact with each other and various social groups. This course deals with the study of people’s lives, their relationship to society as a whole, and how people are affected by the society in which they live. The concepts, theories and methods of the discipline will be introduced and discussed with particular emphasis on the dynamics of Canadian society and Canadian social problems.
• Family Violence (CRMN 3023U)
  The course will cover the history of family violence as a social problem; its dynamics, prevalence and outcomes; critical issues in conducting and interpreting research around victims within familial settings and relationships; media representations of violence against family members; the intersection of violence and social categories; violence related services as they relate to family members as victims; and contemporary family violence policy.
• Victimology (CRMN 3025U)
  This course will take an integrated approach to victimization examining the scope and impact of crime on victims as well as the experience of victimization as a whole. An historical review of the role of the victim, the evolution of victims’ rights in Canada, and formal and informal responses to victimization will be studied.
• Organized Crime (CRMN 3026U)
  This course is designed to identify the nature and issues of organized crime in all societies. Taking a transnational perspective, it will conduct a critical analysis of the various types of organized criminal activity. The analysis will be grounded in theory and an applied research approach, which will emphasize a multidisciplinary approach to identifying and recommending solutions to the problem. It will examine jurisdictional issues as well as consider a multidisciplinary approach to the issue.
• Serial and Mass Homicide (CRMN 3038U)
  This course will examine one of the relatively rare forms of multiple murders: serial and mass homicide. It will explore the scope and nature of serial and mass homicides, their characteristics as homicide events, in addition to the various theories and typologies of individuals who have committed such crimes. This course will also seek to develop a better understanding of the offenders and victims involved in serial and mass homicides as well as the way these crimes are represented in mass media. The methods used to detect and apprehend these types of criminals will also be discussed.
• Special Topics in Criminology - Victimology (SSCI 5400G)
  The purpose of these special topics courses is to allow students to delve deeper into more substantive areas in which they are interested. The content of each course varies with instructor interests and current research specializations and projects. Special topics courses may be offered either inside the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities or may be taken outside with the approval of the graduate committee. These graduate courses explore a selection of research topics in criminology via thorough and critical reviews of current literature. Courses are expected to offer highly specialized substantive knowledge on topics in criminology.
