Crime, justice and legal studies
Why study Crime, justice and legal studies?
The law plays a significant role in all aspects of our lives, from our relationships with each other, to the way in which our system of government operates. Our legal system is constantly changing and being challenged through activism, advocacy, crime trends and perceptions of justice.
Understanding the way that people shape law and how law shapes people is a key aim of Legal Studies. Legal Studies students critically investigate the nature, character and power of law. Legal Studies enriches debate about law and offers diverse ways to critique, reform and evaluate the role of law in a range of different contexts.
By exploring the ramifications of law on different groups within society, students gain powerful insights into the forces that shape our society – and the effectiveness of our legal system. Graduates find work in community services, criminal justice, social welfare, legal education and human rights areas, working in both government and non-government sectors. La Trobe Graduates are well suited to careers in advocacy, policy evaluation, policy development and research.
