Course summary

Our MA in Criminal Justice and Policing offers a detailed look into the world of criminal justice and the forces that shape it. This course is ideal if you are interested in exploring how our justice system operates, what drives policing, and how to address the social impact of crime. By understanding the theoretical foundations of policing and diving deep into criminological theories of crime, you’ll develop a well-rounded view of how different approaches to crime control and investigation have evolved over time. Led by a team with a wealth of experience, the programme brings together knowledge and practice. You will gain insights into real-world law enforcement practices and develop the analytical skills needed to assess crime and justice issues critically. The expertise of your instructors will support you as you explore the impact of social, political, and economic factors on crime policy and criminal justice policy, giving you the tools to understand how broader trends shape the challenges that modern policing faces today. Throughout the course, you’ll cover a wide range of topics, including cybercrime, terrorism, and response policing. You will be encouraged to develop your knowledge of international developments in criminology and criminal justice, which will give you a global perspective on pressing issues and different policing models. This will allow you to gain skills relevant for roles in law enforcement, policy development, research, and beyond.
