Objectives include analyzing criminal behavior, justice systems, and policy implications through an interdisciplinary lens combining sociology, law, and psychology.

Graduates pursue diverse roles in criminal justice, policy, and research, benefiting from Waterloo's strong co-op network that enhances employability.
Faculty from the Department of Sociology and Legal Studies, including experts in deviance, policing, and restorative justice, lead the program.
