Study of crime, criminal behavior, and the criminal justice system.

Study Strategies

Analyzing Case Studies

Learning from Real Life

Studying real crime cases helps you apply theory to practice. Break down what happened, who was involved, and why. Look for patterns, motives, and how the justice system responded. This is a great way to get ready for tests and real-world situations.

Examples

  • Review a famous white-collar crime to see how investigators caught the suspect.

  • Analyze a juvenile justice case to understand the court's decision.
