Are you interested in crime and criminal behavior? If so, you are in good company. Countless movies and TV shows give us images of criminals, police officers, and prison yards. Nightly newscasts give us reports of murders, burglaries, and drug busts. Here at OU, criminologists study why crimes occur. While their explanations include biological and psychological causes, they emphasize social forces, like our neighborhoods and peer groups, that cause or produce criminal behavior. Criminologists also study criminal and juvenile justice systems, organized crime, political violence, terrorism, and the media's representation of crime. Through coursework and individual projects with faculty, OU Criminology students learn theories of crime and how to test those theories through actual research.
Faculty members in the program have a variety of research interests, including deviance, criminal justice, gangs, violence, and white-collar crime. Students can work with professors to conduct research and develop their own research interests within the wide realm of criminology. Students can also complete a three-credit semester-long internship that can be done in a variety of settings, including police departments and correctional institutions.
