Course summary

Criminology is the study of crime within society, but, what is crime, why do people offend and what should we do with criminals Why do we focus on crimes of the powerless, are crimes of the powerful more harmful What is the role of the police and the criminal justice system How does the news and media shape our understanding and experience of crime How do race, gender, age, sexual orientation and class shape experiences of crime and victimisation How does our more globalised world shape localised experiences of crime. If you have an enquiring mind, are interested in key sociological issues in response to these questions, and being part of the solution, then criminology and sociology is for you. You explore concepts such as inequality, identity and social change alongside thinking through the motivations for crime, its wider social context and gaining an in-depth understanding of the criminal justice system. The combination of subjects allows you to focus on and think critically about the social world in which you live. Your dissertation and module options give you the opportunity to specialise in areas as diverse as criminal justice, consumer culture, work and leisure, and crimes of the powerful. Graduate careers include the police and probation services, and community development roles.
