Criminology
Are you interested in the problems of crime and disorder? In questions of justice, social exclusion, punishment and rights? We all think we know something about crime - but our criminology programmes are designed to make you think again. During your study of criminology you will study all aspects of the criminal justice system, explanations of criminal and deviant behaviour and examine many forms of crime including violence, terrorism and organised crime.
You will enjoy this subject if you interested in issues such as rights and responsibilities, social exclusion, the psychology of crime and punishment and current affairs. You will learn about the historical context of crime and punishment and gain an understanding of the relationship between argument and evidence in criminological debates. You will develop the ability to report and evaluate empirical research findings, undertake your own research and use legal concepts in practical situations.
