CRJUS2472 Locating Crime in Urban, Regional and Rural Contexts
This unit examines the complex relationship between crime and violence. Students analyse stereotypes and dominant understandings of crime in Australia, with particular attention to regional and rural contexts. The unit challenges the assumption that crime in the modern world is primarily an urban phenomenon. The impacts of crime on local communities¿both acquisitive and interpersonal¿are explored, alongside the complexity of contemporary crime and the responses it generates from community members and the formal criminal justice system. The role of law-and-order campaigns in managing shifts in crime and violence patterns is examined, as are regional and rural crime prevention programs situated within the growing field of rural criminology. The unit also considers the role of remoteness¿geographical, social, and political¿in cycles of violence and in shaping criminal justice responses.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2026 student contribution amount: $2,175
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,021
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
