Criminology BA (Hons)

What is crime? Who are 'criminals'? What causes crime and how should societies respond to it? You'll analyse and debate questions like this on our BA Criminology. You’ll explore crime, victimisation and crime control, drawing on insights from social policy, sociology, law, psychology, politics, history, and the media. This will develop your critical thinking and research skills and will give you a broad understanding of theoretical perspectives on crime and justice. You will also be taught by criminologists who draw on their research experience at the cutting-edge of the discipline. You can tailor your degree to your interests and career goals through optional modules that examine subjects like miscarriages of justice, surveillance and environmental crime. You can also enhance your CV by studying abroad at a partner institution in locations like Australia, the USA or Canada.
