Course Overview

This course provides you with the opportunity to study two main subject areas; Criminology and Criminal Justice. Criminology examines theories and evidence relating to crime, criminals, and victims, while Criminal Justice studies explore the various responses to crime and victims, from informal to formal legislative measures of social control and crime prevention; and examine the way in which the criminal justice system works - from policing through to imprisonment and rehabilitation.

The degree is designed to provide students with practical knowledge and understanding of how the criminal justice system works as well as an opportunity to consider the social and cultural factors that influence people’s decision to engage in criminal activity. Within the degree, students gain a broad knowledge base of crime and crime control but also have the opportunity to focus on several distinct and complex areas of human behavior such as drug abuse, interpersonal violence, and organized criminality.
