The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Criminology and Public Safety aims to deal with the expansive, complex and specialized nature of

scientific study of the nature, extent, causes, and control of criminal behaviour in the individual and in society. However, this programme is distinct
as it offers a wide range of practical content and skills that are industry-driven. The Public Safety component of the B.A.Sc. offers a mixture of
theory and practice, which deals with the prevention of and protection from events that could endanger the safety of the general public – quite
important issues affecting Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean today.
