Criminology and Criminal Justice

Our Criminology and Criminal Justice programme is for those passionate about understanding crime, its causes, and its consequences. This course will take you through a range of topics, from youth justice and serious organised crime to the impact of social factors like gender-based violence, segregation, and inequality on criminal behaviour.

Explore important areas such as public policy, social harm, and how drug policies shape society. Our interdisciplinary approach integrates sociology, law, and public policy, giving you a comprehensive perspective on criminality and justice.

You will investigate critical issues like social inclusion, substance misuse, and legal processes, gaining insights into crime and criminality. Learn about policing, the criminal justice system, and how the media reports crime. This programme prepares you to address crime and vulnerability in various contexts.

Our course also covers rehabilitation, offering a deeper understanding of how the system supports offenders in reintegrating into society. You’ll examine how race and religion influence crime and the impact of serious organised crime on communities.
