摘要：Criminological studies at Ryerson University in Toronto, asin many post-graduate institutions, has had at least threelives. We will maintain that the development of what hasbeen variously named Justice Studies, Criminal Justice and,as of November, 2013, Criminology at Ryerson University,is the result of four primary in!uences: the broader politicaland ideological agenda in Ontario to provide professional,technical training for increasingly scarce public-sector jobs;the corporate interests of the university to take advantage ofopportunities to expand its mandate at a time when the valueof university (vs post-secondary education more generally)was in question; the contribution of the individual facultymembers hired to teach and contribute to the development ofprograms and curriculum and, "nally, the purposeful changein identity of Ryerson University away from its polytechnicroots. One might argue that the transition through programsin criminological studies parallels those of the "eld of crim-inology itself. #at is, a narrow focus on technical trainingwith applications to the administration of criminal justicehave been replaced, sometimes quite abruptly, by a critical,interdisciplinary and a richer integration of substantive andtheoretical frameworks beyond the traditional scope. Today,criminological studies at Ryerson are really just a faint re!ec-tion of their early roots.
