Course summary

Introduction

Examine real-life case studies to piece together the inner workings of serious crime, and the methods used to police it. You鈥檒l gain the skills and knowledge needed for many careers in criminal justice, such as the Police, youth justice, the Home Office or border agencies. Focusing on serious crime, you鈥檒l explore the practice and theory of criminal activities, including how crime is detected and policed, methods of social control, and sanctions.

By examining different theoretical standpoints, you鈥檒l form an understanding of various Western legal and social traditions and how they compare to each other. You鈥檒l investigate issues such as organised illicit trade and criminal enterprise, using case studies of criminal activities including financial crime, human trafficking, and violence prevention. Our modules will let you specialise in other areas of interest too, such as the nature of violence, terrorism, and policing transnational crime. Most of your teaching will take place in research-seminar format to allow you to develop critical thinking, but your learning will also be supported by lectures, guest speakers and debates. You鈥檒l have a chance to contribute to our research seminar series, and take part in our annual criminology study trips abroad.

How you'll be assessed

You鈥檒l show your progress through a combination of essays, presentations, case studies and portfolio work.

Careers
