About the Department

The department offers bachelors programs through the College of Arts and Sciences and the Honors College, and a Master of Arts in the School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy.  The study of crime and justice is complex and controversial as researchers, practitioners, and policy makers tackle issues of drugs, gangs, violent crime, capital punishment, incarceration, police brutality, and international crime.  The University of Memphis emphasizes research, scholarship, service and community outreach.  Our faculty provide outstanding instruction on the causes of crime and methods for controlling and preventing it.  Members of our faculty have won teaching awards at the University, obtained local and national research grants, and engaged in national and international outreach and service.
