Research with Community Impact

At USF Criminology, research extends beyond the classroom to create meaningful change. Undergraduate and graduate students collaborate with nationally recognized faculty through our research centers and specialized labs, gaining hands-on experience while addressing today's most pressing criminal justice challenges. By partnering with communities, public agencies, and criminal justice professionals, our research advances evidence-based solutions that improve policy, inform practice, and strengthen communities. Along the way, students develop the research, analytical, and leadership skills needed to succeed in graduate study, professional careers, and beyond.
