Course summary

This programme involves research-led teaching on cutting-edge topics within criminology, including media and popular culture, violence and victimisation, wildlife and cultural property crime, surveillance, terrorism, migration, and environment/climate change. You will develop analytical and research skills, an interdisciplinary knowledge base, and a critical understanding of the settings in which crime and justice policies are devised and implemented.
