Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology - Crime and Social Control

The field of Crime and Social Control reflects sociological interests in how crime is defined, measured, explained and reacted to by society.
Within this field students will be exposed to scholarly material on a broad range of topics including: cyberbullying, victimization, legal responses to homelessness, intimate partner violence, drug policy, school violence, feminist criminology, critical criminology, restorative justice, sociology of risk, policing, the social construction of crime, inmate re-integration, youth justice, wrongful convictions, and life course criminology.
As a self-motivated and talented sociology PhD scholar, you'll find a rewarding array of intellectual and professional challenges through course work, seminars, qualifying examinations, teaching and research assistantships, conference presentations and dissertation writing.
You'll also gain valuable leadership experience and professional development as you build the skills you need to succeed inside and outside of academia, such as advanced theoretical and methodological competence, an ability to conduct research independently at the cutting edge of your chosen field, and the expertise to communicate with precision and confidence while working with world-renowned faculty.
