The Sociology teaching program at the University of Tasmania is among the top 5 in Australia.
Our Criminology teaching program has two key strengths – we are national leaders in the area of applied criminology pertaining to juvenile and adult offenders; and we have an international reputation as key proponents of eco-global criminology, an area of research and scholarship that deals with issues of social and environmental justice.
