Why study this course

This program responds to recent needs of the criminal justice profession, as well as the development of new knowledge and understandings in the social sciences and law, including criminology, sociology and social philosophy. Criminal justice has become increasingly complex, with systemic interactions with social welfare organisations, law and judicial administration, penal and correctional institutions, policing, and family and community. Key parts of the industry and profession, including Victoria Police, have recognised the need for a more highly educated workforce with a developed understanding of the philosophies and objectives of modern criminal justice and the role of various agencies within it.

Student review

My experience at university was certainly unique given the complications that came with the COVID lockdowns. The overwhelming majority of my studies were done on Zoom as a result. Otherwise, the course itself wasn't much different from a typical high school class. You would rock up to class for a three-hour session on theory with a small break in the middle, which you could use to connect with your peers. I think COVID ruined the possibility of more practical work unfortunately. Apart from work placement (which I loved), most classwork would be some combination of simple questionnaires, essays and presentations. With one week to submit each assignment, the course was pretty straightforward if you weren't a serial procrastinator.

Student review

Now mid-way through the course I can say that I enjoyed it, I originally applied for it with the intention of eventually joining the Victorian Police and using it in my resume (giving me an edge over other applicants). Despite this I found that the units are more geared towards youth workers and they are neglecting the policing aspect of it. However despite this efforts have been made to introduce more policing units for newer students.
