Course Overview

These are some of the debates that you will explore in this course, by looking at the complex interactions between the state, the offender, the victim, and society. You will think critically about how laws are made and how social structures shape both crime and crime control. In addition to engaging with criminological theories and topical crime and justice issues, this course provides you with a solid base of knowledge in Psychology and an understanding of human behavior, feelings, and interactions.

As a criminology student at LSBU, you will be able to engage in a series of employability events. Criminology courses open pathways to careers in a variety of settings, including probation, policing, the prison service, NGOs, local authorities, the voluntary sector, youth offending teams, teaching, social work, and administration.

The course is also linked to the LSBU Crime and Justice Research Group, which organizes research seminars and public events throughout the year. You will be encouraged to attend and participate in these events to enhance your learning experience and meet with researchers, practitioners, and campaigners.

You'll be taught by research-active academics whose work is nationally and internationally recognized and informs the course curriculum.
