Program Overview

Criminology is the sociological study of crime and the criminal justice system. At IWU, the Sociology-Criminology major and the Criminology minor provide a unique interdisciplinary framework, grounded in the social sciences but also engaging the natural sciences and humanities. Our Sociology-Criminology students develop:

  • Knowledge about the workings of the criminal justice system;
  • An understanding of inequality with regard to the law;
  • The skills needed to study and analyze crime.

The Sociology-Criminology major and the Criminology minor complement the studies of students who are interested in a future working in criminal justice, advocacy, law, politics, or research.

Classes focus on a variety of topics including policing, eyewitness testimony, jury behavior, crime scene analysis, and inequality within the criminal justice system. Students study current, ongoing legal cases in the Bloomington-Normal area and speak with people involved in the criminal justice system.
