About the course
Crime, its manifestations, causes and consequences are a concern worldwide. There’s a global need for real-world understanding of crime, criminals and punishment.

On this course, you’ll explore crime and deviance from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining criminological and psychological perspectives. You’ll study:


- the wider social and structural issues associated with crime


- the ‘inner’ psychological workings of people.


In your final-year project, you’ll learn to formulate criminological and/or psychological questions, plan how to answer them and conduct your own research.

Our research underpins our teaching. You’ll learn from faculty actively involved in research into areas including:


- (violent) extremism, online extremism/terrorism and counter-terrorism policy


- hate crime policy, gender/disability and victimisation


- women who kill, gender and crime, race and crime


- capital punishment, cultural and historical criminology.


As a graduate, you’ll have critical thinking, research methods (for example, interviews and document analysis) and quantitative methods (for example, large survey design) skills for a wide range of careers.
