Department of Criminology, Psychology and Social Work

The Department of Criminology, Psychology and Social Work collection in DSpace at the University of Fort Hare provides access to the scholarly and research outputs of staff and students. This collection includes research articles, conference papers, and examination question papers. The Department integrates the disciplines of Criminology, Psychology, and Social Work to address complex social and behavioural challenges in contemporary society. Its teaching and research focus on areas such as crime and justice, mental health, human behaviour, community development, and social welfare, with a strong emphasis on ethical practice, social justice, and human rights. Through interdisciplinary approaches, the Department prepares students to contribute meaningfully to social transformation and community wellbeing. By preserving and disseminating these resources, the collection supports teaching, learning, and research while promoting knowledge that informs policy, practice, and social development.
