Welcome to the Centre of Criminology

The Centre of Criminology is a research and teaching unit at the University of Toronto. Founded in 1963 by Prof. John Edwards, the Centre’s faculty and students study crime, order and security from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and theoretical approaches.

With backgrounds in sociology, history, law, psychology, philosophy and political science, the faculty are actively engaged in Canadian and international criminological research.

The Centre's library (the Criminology Information Service) houses the leading Canadian research collection of criminological material, consisting of more than 25, 000 books, journals, government reports, statistics and other documents.

The Centre of Criminology offers a graduate program for masters and doctoral students. The undergraduate criminology program is administered by Woodsworth College.
