Course Overview

• Explore crime as a vast political and cultural topic that concerns and affects everyone

• Be introduced to a range of perspectives on crime and its impact on society

• Develop a solid grounding in the theories that sit at the core of criminology

• Cultivate a deeper understanding of our current responses to crime with a view to helping shape more effective policies and legislation in the future

• Develop the academic, personal and professional skills needed to forge a successful career in a variety of roles, whether you want to work with offenders, the victims of crime or organisations tasked with reducing offending
