Christiana Hartley

Bachelor of Sciences in Criminology and Psychology

Pull quote: I have learnt to think critically about information I am presented with, which helps me to form my own opinions of the world.

Main story:

To be the best

I chose Victoria because it has the best and most established Criminology and Psychology departments in New Zealand. This was my biggest selling point. I thought to be my best, I should go to the best.

Inspiring lecturers

I have learnt to think critically about information I am presented with, which helps me to form my own opinions of the world. Also the lecturers are passionate about their subjects and extremely knowledgeable as many are conducting research on the topics they teach. This makes learning and going to class that much more enjoyable.

 Challenging perspectives

I’ve been able to broaden my knowledge of fascinating topics I would have never heard or learnt about at school. I have also been able to interact with people of different backgrounds and opinions. These interactions with people of different perspectives has extended and challenged me as a person. Which in turn has helped me figure out what I want to do as a career.

Love Wellington

Studying and living in Wellington is great because it has a lively ambiance, there is always something new to experience such as, a festival, concert, food markets and more.  Also everything is compact so it’s easy to get around and good for your wallet.

•  Tymara Oberdries (Unlicensed) change the intro to read as follows (leave the fact still in place)

Crime is a complex and rewarding subject of study. What drives someone to commit a crime—the thrill of the act itself, or social factors like inequality or the influence of peers? Why are we fascinated by crime TV shows like CSI, while utterly condemning of actions by real life murderers and terrorists?

Criminology draws on different disciplines including sociology, law, psychology, social policy, history and cultural studies to give you a broad understanding of crime and the way that society deals with it. Find out how crime is defined, why people offend, and how we should respond to criminals and victims.  

Learn about crime's social dimensions, including the relationships with wealth and poverty, ethnicity, gender and age. Look at past attempts to solve the "problem" of crime, and propose alternatives.

You'll also think critically about crime as a social construct—how can we explain, for example, our different response to crimes committed by corporations than that given to individual offenders?

Examine the way crime is represented in society and the media, and analyse the impact this has on the way that we understand law-breaking.
