Welcome to Criminal Justice and Public Policy

Criminal Justice and Public Policy (CJPP) is a collaborative program between the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Department of Political Science at the University of Guelph.

Offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels, this interdisciplinary program investigates the fields of public policy, criminal justice, the Canadian court and legal systems, and social justice.

CJPP draws on strengths from within each department and is now one of the most popular specializations in the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.

Applications are now open for the Master of Criminal Justice, our new, applied master's degree for criminal justice professionals.
