Criminology, Law & Society

From the Department Chair:

UCI's Department of Criminology, Law & Society integrates two complementary areas of scholarship--criminology and law & society (sometimes called socio-legal studies). Among our distinguished faculty are three former presidents of the American Society of Criminology, former presidents of the Law and Society Association, the Society for the Study of Social Problems, and the American Psychology-Law Society, as well as editors of several top academic journals. The department is currently ranked 4^th (U.S News & World Report) and 5^th (Chronicle of Higher Education) in the nation among doctoral degree-granting programs in criminology and criminal justice, and 5^th in scholarly productivity (2005 Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index).
