DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY
Chairman of Department: Mr S. W. JOHNSTON, B.A., LL.B., MACE.
Banister-at-Law ORDINARY DEGREE
Criminology is the study of crime, or moral criticism, and in particular today the defining of the authority and criminal policy of the nation state and such enforcement of international law as exists.
Criminology 2 is an introductory Criminology subject which may be taken as a grade 2 level subject of an Arts degree, and also as an elective in a Law course. In particular, students intending subsequently to under- take the Social Work degree course may find Criminology 2 of benefit to their later studies. This subject is also one of a number of subjects which satisfies the behavioural science/social science prerequisite requirement for the Social Work course. Students intending taking Criminology 2 as part of an Arts course must first pass in any two university subjects. A quota has been established in this subject for 1977. Students wishing to take Criminology 2 as part of their degree course must apply on the application form available from the Faculty office.
No enrolments in this subject will be permitted before written approval is received. Students who have previously enrolled in the subject and who wish to take the subject in 1977 must also make application.
The diploma in Criminology is normally taken after but it may be taken in combination with an Arts course. Enquiries should be made of the Sub- Dean, Faculty of Arts.
191-201 CRIMINOLOGY 2
A course of two lectures and a 1-hour tutorial a week throughout the year, with a maximum of eight visits to correctional agencies on Wed- nesday afternoons or in the vacations. Students will be required to submit not more than four written exercises during the year, which may take the form of prescribed essays, a free choice project, tutorial paper, or report of an institutional visit.
SYLLABUS
An introduction to the study of crime and deviance in contemporary society.
1. Principles of Criminology. The definition of crime and the nature of criminal behaviour. Sociological and psychological theories of causation.
The extent of the crime problem. Theories of justice. Crimes and morals.
Crime in totalitarian societies.
2. Administration of Criminal Justice. The criminal justice system as it functions in Australia; overseas comparisons. The initiation and resolution of criminal proceedings; the role of police and courts. Politics and the criminal justice system. Sentencing and corrections; adult and child offenders. Australian welfare law.
3. Civil Liberties and Human Rights. Fundamental human rights in law and ethics. State authority and democratic order; the nature of authority and the meaning of power. Police power and individual freedom;
prisoners' rights. Guarantees of rights; constitutional guarantees; the role of the United Nations; human rights in the European Community.

POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN CRIMINOLOGY
SUMMARY OF SUBJECTS Criminology Subjects:
Criminology A 191-801
Criminology B 191-802
Criminology C 191-803
Criminology D 191-804
The Diploma course which consists of the four subjects Criminology A, B, C and D is open to quota application by graduates in any approved field, and by undergraduates in combination with any approved degree.
Under approved circumstances, candidates who have a professional qualification at the tertiary level together with extensive relevant experience may be admitted to the course, and application should be made to the Sub-Dean, Faculty of Arts. The diploma course is closely related to courses in Law, Psychiatry, Psychology, Social Work and Education. But it is of interest to candidates in many fields—whether simply as an exercise in a modern discipline, or as a preparation for a professional career in the field of crime control; for instance, magistrates, probation and parole officers, police staff, teachers, psychiatrists and psychologists, lawyers, chaplains and senior administrators in law enforcement in a position to influence policy.
A candidate who plans a combined course, from the beginning may, if selected, be able to complete the diploma with one additional year's full- time study; but the majority of candidates devote two or more additional years to it part-time. Students wishing to make application for admission to the Criminology course must do so on the form available from the Sub-Dean, Faculty of Arts. The closing date for applications in 1977 is Monday, 31 January. Students who have previously passed one or more of the Criminology Diploma subjects as part of their degree course must undertake one or more approved substitute subjects to complete the diploma course requirements. Students previously admitted to the diploma course who did not pass or attempt a subject of their course in their last year of enrolment must receive special approval before being allowed to re-enrol.
Students are expected to use the vacations for reading and for carrying out their writing assignments. Guidance in reading may be obained from the teaching staff, and students are encouraged to seek frequent individual tutorials.
