In year three you will study in particular how groups and societies identify victims. You will also conduct your individual research project in a double-module dissertation.

In semester 1 you will be asked to choose 2 modules and in semester 2, you will be asked to choose 3. However, three of these choices are constrained, they must come from a list of Criminology modules and Social Science modules that are closely related to Criminology.
