The field of Criminology is a study of crime and the various agencies of justice as they operate and react to crime, criminals and victims. It is therefore the mission of the CRIMINOLOGY PROGRAM to provide the community with professionally competent and morally upright graduates who can deliver efficient and effective services in crime prevention, crime detection and investigation, law enforcement and custody and rehabilitation of offenders, among others. Furthermore, the program aims to foster the values of leadership, integrity, accountability and responsibility while serving their fellowmen, community and country; to prepare the students for careers in crime prevention, law enforcement, scientific crime detection and correctional administration; and to encourage research and inquiry on the nature, causes treatment or punishment of criminal behavior and how criminal justice agencies respond to crime, criminals and victims.
