Why and how do people break the law? How can the criminal justice system define this and how do we police, prosecute and punish people?
This course looks at the motivations and careers of law-breakers and also broader questions of process and policy in criminal justice.
You will attain a strong training in criminology and the theory and methods of applied social science. If you are considering a career in the police, prison service or human rights agencies, it will provide a strong academic base.
Criminology is based in the Faculty of Social Science and can be studied as a joint degree only. It can be combined with: Law (MM91); Philosophy (MV95); Politics (ML92) or Sociology (LM39).
