Why combine Media with Criminology?  

Media is about mass communication, entertainment and education. Criminology investigates the sociology of crime and deviance. Both focus on a growing national and international field: security, social order and well-being. 

The two come together seamlessly in a range of exciting fields—from community development to investigative journalism.
