I am pleased to welcome you to the Criminology homepage at Bond University. Our course offerings and student numbers are gradually building since the inception of criminology in 1994. Graduates of our Masters program have already achieved their vocational or academic aspirations in criminal justice or related fields. Some former students, for example, are now successfully employed in a state police service, as policy analysts in the federal public service, teaching in a university, and one graduate is pursuing doctoral studies in the area of profiling of serious violent offenders. The staff in criminology have special interests in advancing psychological criminal profiling and related techniques as aids for investigators in solving difficult violent crimes.
Crime prevention is another area that the staff are particularly interested in.
New subjects to be offered shortly include Crime Prevention, Criminal Profiling, Comparative Criminal Justice and Criminological Theories. Our Centre for Applied Criminology and Forensic Psychology , part of the School of Humanities and Social Science, continues its involvement in a number of major research projects. Postgraduate students have been involved in these research projects and are encouraged to participate in future studies.
