Crime is everywhere – in the news, at the cinema, on our TV screens, and in the books we read. This course offers you the opportunity to look behind the headlines to explore the complexity of a subject which fascinates and worries us in equal measure.You will study crime from a variety of perspectives ranging from seemingly simple questions such as ‘what is crime?’ to considering the impact of the media on our understanding of crime and the way we deal with crimes such as youth violence and domestic abuse. As a Marjon criminology graduate you will have a thorough understanding of the social, political and cultural nature of crime as well as how crime is addressed locally, nationally and globally.This course will also equip you with the skills and knowledge you’ll need to thrive in the real world of forensic investigation. Dive deep into the practical aspects of crime scene investigation and develop investigative skills which go hand in hand with the theories of Criminology which you will learn.The diverse modules on this course mean you’ll gain marketable expertise beyond forensics, as you study how to undertake police interviewing techniques, photography and research, building an impressive portfolio of skills to take with you to potential employers once your degree is complete. In particular our digital forensics module will teach you in-demand skills in a rapidly growing field
