The world is a live laboratory. As a criminologist, you can analyse different issues, investigate change as it happens and use theory to make sense of it. By joining us at Lancaster, we’ll help you look at the motivations behind different crimes and assess potential solutions to key issues.
Understanding society
What are the implications of climate change for policing? Is it time to scale back on prisons? What do we need to know about cannabis cultivation? These are just a few examples of questions you might think about as a criminology student. We’ll cover the most current challenges and share the research we’re doing right now.
You’ll be part of a vibrant community. There’s always something going on within the department, whether that’s a guest lecture or a research group meeting. Our staff will talk to you about their latest work too, and share the issues they’ve faced in their own work around ethics, such as finding a safe way to explore cybercrime.
Focus on law
Studying our LLM Criminology and Criminal Justice, you’ll focus on the relationship between law and criminology. Our bespoke Research Methods in Law module will help you understand how to carry out ethical research and design projects.
You’ll apply everything you’ve learnt to your dissertation. This will look at an area of criminology and its relationship to law. Examples of previous dissertation topics include ’Criminalizing Coercive Control in Indonesia’ and ‘Ethnic Profiling in the context of counter-terrorism in Belgium and the UK’,
