In the next 10 years Australia's public administration and safety sector is projected to double, creating a growing demand for graduates with Justice degrees.

 

If you like the idea of working with people and organisations in addressing social, psychological, and technological harms, the criminology and violence prevention major is for you. By studying criminology and violence prevention, you can work with people and communities to address harm, to help communities feel safe, or more specifically, prevent family violence and learn how to help stop the cycle of violence and coercive control.

 

This course equips you with key skills to work in both frontline roles and broader positions within the justice sector. On the front line, you might be interested in corrections, domestic and family violence, child protection, not-for-profit organisations or youth justice. Broader justice careers might include criminology, domestic and family policy, advocacy, and regulatory roles. Whatever path you choose, this major provides a solid foundation in criminology and violence prevention while allowing you the flexibility to tailor your degree to your passion.
