Course summary

Security and Crime Science PG Cert provides students with a thorough understanding of how science and scientifically-based techniques can deliver immediate and sustainable reductions in crime. The programme focuses on how to apply science to gain a better understanding of crime problems, develop investigative strategies for preventing them and increase the probability of detecting and arresting offenders. Students develop the ability to apply scientific principles to crime control, think more strategically to develop and implement crime control policies, appreciate the complexity of implementation issues, critically assess the likely impact of planned crime reduction initiatives and generate more innovative proposals to reduce particular crime problems.The programme is particularly suitable for applicants with a background in science subjects such as engineering or computer science, or social science subjects, such as psychology, criminology or geography, wishing to develop the skills necessary for a career or further doctoral research in this field.
