Course Overview

Crime is a feature of social life in every community and society worldwide. As the behaviours regarded as a crime and the types of criminal behaviour committed constantly change, the need for criminal justice-related agencies and governments to understand crime and how to reduce it continues to rise. This course will help you gain the skills and knowledge you need for a future career working with offenders, victims, criminal and social justice organisations or advising organisations on the steps they can take to reduce crime—youll study a broad spectrum of criminal behaviour, from petty theft to state-sponsored terrorism. And youll be encouraged to investigate ways to reduce the crime rate and assess the effect of organisations within the criminal justice system, such as the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
