Crime and justice cannot be understood through a single lens. At Trent, you'll explore the forces that shape criminalization and punishment while learning from faculty in Sociology, Law, Gender & Social Justice, and Indigenous Studies. Together, these perspectives help you better understand how crime, justice, policy, and social inequality intersect in today's world.

Forensic Science
