Students critically explore the causes of offending and victimisation, the workings of justice institutions such as the police, prosecution service, judiciary and penal system, and the broader social, economic, environmental, and cultural contexts that shape patterns of offending, victimisation and justice. Anchored in Singapore&#8217;s unique legal and multicultural landscape, the minor highlights how policy, practice, and institutional legitimacy intersect to structure the criminal justice environment. Through exposure to real-world case studies, forensic methodologies, criminal investigations, data-informed policy problems, and evidence-based policy interventions, students will gain a holistic understanding of how societies respond to crime, manage risk, govern deviance and process justice.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/socanth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/07\/gana-sq.png\" alt=\"gana-sq\" height=\"458\" width=\"458\" title=\"gana-sq\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tAcademic Convenor\t<\/h4>\n\t<p><strong>A\/P Narayanan Ganapathy<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tRequirements\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>This Minor in Criminal Justice will take effect from <strong>Sem 2 AY26\/27<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Students must pass a minimum of five courses (20 units) from the list of Minor in Criminal Justice courses, including two core courses (4 Units each) and three elective courses (4 Units each):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SC2212 Sociology of Deviance (compulsory course)<\/li>\n<li>HS2916 Love that Kills: A Criminal Justice Perspective (compulsory course)<\/li>\n<li>At least one course (4 Units) from each of the following baskets<br \/>\n&#8211; Basket 1: Foundations in Law, Justice and Society<br \/>\n&#8211; Basket 2: Digital \/ Forensic \/ Methods<br \/>\n&#8211; Basket 3: Advanced Criminal Justice Topics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>All courses read in fulfillment of the minor requirements should be graded.
