About this subject
This subject was previously known as Crime Prevention. This subject focuses on the scientific study of crime, centering on understanding crime itself rather than peripheral social factors. In this subject, you will explore Crime Science—a discipline dedicated to examining the “who, what, where, and how” of criminal behaviour. By investigating patterns of offending, methods used, and the situational contexts in which crimes occur, you will gain insights into the factors that can be manipulated to prevent crime. Through this lens, Crime Prevention is not an afterthought but a central goal, as you learn to apply scientific principles and evidence-based strategies to reduce crime in practical, impactful ways.
