Criminal Justice Studies at UNB is about crime, criminal behavior, and the criminal justice system. It’s about social control, crime prevention, victimization, and criminal sanctions. And it’s about examining all of these things from multiple perspectives – psychological, sociological, historical, philosophical, and business.

Criminal Justice Studies is available as a minor and is open to students majoring in Psychology or Sociology.

Unlike many criminal justice programs, which focus on one discipline’s perspective, our program is multidisciplinary. That means you’ll learn about complex criminal justice issues from multiple fields of study and perspectives.
