Bachelor
If you have ever thought about the problem of crime and its prevention or how society defines and responds to crime, this degree could be for you.
Graduates of this degree typically find employment in areas such as:
Community Corrections Officers work intensively with offenders once they are released from custody on parole or are serving community based orders. This is an engaging and challenging role that will use your skills in assessing and influencing behavioural change.
Correctional Officers work in prisons and correctional centres to ensure the safe supervision of inmates. Their duties involve observing prison behaviour, providing advice, administering first aid, assessing risk factors and preparing reports.
Welfare Support Workers provide support, information and advice to clients on emotional, financial, recreational, health, housing and other social welfare matters, and evaluate and coordinate the services of welfare and community service agencies.
With further training and/or degrees, you may become a registered police officer. Police protect and preserve property, public order and safety through the enforcement of laws.
Social Researchers study human behaviour, society and institutions from current and historical perspectives, and verbally render spoken statements, and transcribe text and recorded spoken material from one language into another.
