Graduate Certificate in Victimology

Program Overview

The demand for victimology programs is on the rise, fueled by an increased emphasis on victims' rights and the need for specialized support services. As crime rates rise and the importance of victim support becomes more widely recognized, there is a growing need for professionals trained in this field.

This one-year Ontario College Graduate Certificate program provides professionals with specialized knowledge and skills in victimology and victim services, essential in today's society where understanding and addressing the needs of victims/survivors of crime is more critical than ever. Students develop an understanding of victims’ rights, traumatic loss, and the impact of crime and victimization on victims in the criminal justice system. The program will explore the history and theories of victimization with a trauma-informed and victim-centered approach. Courses focus on  issues such as childhood abuse, intimate partner violence and sexual assault, while including equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles. The program prepares graduates to advocate for victims, collaborate with victim service agencies, assess and refer victims to appropriate services, and contribute to risk assessment for individuals, families and communities. A capstone project provides practical experience in planning, delivering, and evaluating victim services and advocacy.
