More about this course

The Crime, Policy and Security Prof Doc combines your professional experience with an academic desire to develop sector specific expertise, influence public policy and ultimately effect change.

This doctorate programme will equip you to think critically about your own practice and the sector, with a view to developing creative solutions to pressing issues. This could include looking into how to build better relationships between the police and the community they serve, unjust exercises of power, disproportionality within the criminal justice system or even simply how to engage more effectively with those needing support.

You’ll develop your knowledge around current issues in the field, exploring key theories and leadership practices so you can make informed connections to your own area of interest. You’ll also be encouraged to look at issues from a wider perspective, taking into consideration research and practices from the global south and global north.

As research is key to this Crime, Policy and Security professional doctorate, you’ll learn both qualitative and quantitative analytical skills that will enable you to carry out your own research. Your research study gives you the opportunity to explore a particular issue of interest that requires improvement within the sector.

As a university committed to social justice, we’ll encourage you to explore areas that have potential for innovative ways to enhance practice, and improve the experiences of the most marginalised within society. We particularly welcome applications for professionals looking to challenge areas of discrimination, disproportion and oppressive practice.

Designed for professionals already working within public policy or the criminal justice system, our modules support recognised areas of continuing professional development (CPD).

Our teaching team have expertise within these fields and will be able to support you in your areas of interest. They’ve led and contributed to various government reports, local authority evaluations and have good academic publishing track records. You’ll benefit from guest lectures from leading experts within the international relations and criminal justice sectors.
