UCI’s distinctive, interdisciplinary Department of Criminology, Law and Society integrates two complementary areas of scholarship — criminology and law and society (sometimes called socio-legal studies). It is the only criminology department and one of only two law and society units in the University of California system. Among our distinguished faculty are three former presidents of the American Society of Criminology; former presidents of the Law and Society Association, the Society for the Study of Social Problems, and the American Psychology-Law Society; and two Fellows of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. The department is currently ranked 5th (U.S News & World Report; Chronicle of Higher Education) in the nation among doctoral degree-granting programs in criminology and criminal justice, and 5th in scholarly productivity (2005 Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index).
