The course of the Criminology has been framed with the objective:

1. To provide information regarding the understanding of the socio-political nature of defining certain acts of crime, gain familiarity with current and historical trends in crime and learn about the importance of correlates of crime;

2. To enable the students to promptly gain grasp of classical and contemporary criminological and sociological theories of crime and deviance; compare and contrast the different theoretical perspectives and apply the theories to comprehend crime, deviance and crime control efforts.

3. To acquire detailed knowledge of social institutions, policies and cultural frameworks in crime.

4. To learn how the foregoing social structure can both contribute to and ameliorate observed social inequalities.

5. To convey the student’s criminological knowledge in writing and orally to a range of audiences, including the research community, policy makers and the general public.
