The St. Jerome’s University Library has a strong collection of books, government reports, and other kinds of materials on law and criminology, with some materials on the history of law found nowhere else.
You’ll be taught by professors who are actively engaged in research in their fields, including program director Fred Desroches, a sociologist who has published two books on crime: Force and Fear: Robbery in Canada, and Behind the Bars: Experiences in Crime. His current research deals with organized crime and drug dealing in Canada.
