This course aims to broaden your knowledge of criminology and criminal justice. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of crime, criminological theories and how to connect environmental and sociological trends of crime throughout history. You’ll get into the minds of criminals so you can conduct psychological analyses and understand how criminals are moulded by social, economic, and psychological factors. Alongside this, you will focus on the principles of restorative justice and learn all about crime prevention strategies which are needed to build a safer society and to influence positive social change today. You’ll also uncover how the police and crown prosecution services work together to investigate crime, while also looking into specific areas such as police attitudes towards anti-social behaviour and how offender’s behaviour affects society.Duration- 3 years(4 year with sandwich year)Study abroad optionWork placement option
