Our Research
Criminology Research Group
The mission of the Criminology Research Group (CRG) is to foster a collaborative effort between University of Montana faculty, students and outside institutions to conduct applied social science research in the broad areas within the field of criminology. From its inception, CRG has involved graduate and undergraduate students in the work and is founded upon the belief that student learning through applied research is an essential component of the learning experience at the University of Montana.
CRG has been operating since the fall of 2009 and works closely with the Social Science Research Laboratory to highlight the importance of social science research at UM. Student research internships are available for junior and senior undergraduates. If you are interested in learning more about research opportunities with CRG, please contact Professor Jackson Bunch (Jackson.bunch@umontana.edu).
Affiliated UM Programs
Our faculty are frequently affiliated with programs across campus, and share topic interests with scholars from other departments and centers. Additionally, some programs offer special minors that enhance an undergraduate major in sociology, or award graduate certificates in related areas of study or practice.
