Course Overview

This joint honours degree in Criminology and Social Policy combines two exciting and rapidly-developing subject areas that have an enormous influence on our lives. You will explore critical theories and debates relating to how societies meet the needs of their citizens and the ways that social policies are shaped by the causes and effects of crime on individuals and communities. You will examine themes and values such as social justice, equality, fairness, and citizenship, alongside specific policy focal points such as crime, health, education, housing, disability, poverty, and the family, and gain an in-depth understanding of the criminal justice system.
