The Master of Arts in Criminology offers students an opportunity for advanced critical work in areas such as the social construction of crime, criminology and punishment; socio-legal studies; social justice and equality; and governance and regulation. The Program provides students with the analytical and research skills necessary for further graduate study; research or teaching; policy research and practice; employment in government/non-government agencies, and the private sector. The Department of Sociology and Criminology at Saint Mary's University has established an excellent scholarly and professional reputation in the field of critical criminology focusing on the analysis of how unequal power relations shape the social and historical construction of regulation, crime/criminality and justice by the state, private groups and academic scholarship.
