Advance your investigative career in the public or private sector by developing the skills needed to apply modern investigative techniques, both financial and digital. Respond to the diversity of crime and victimisation with evidence-based policy, research, and investigative strategy and tactics. Use our practitioner-focused platform to pursue your interests and develop your chosen topic area, producing a novel contribution to the literature and field of practice. Engage with a programme designed by practitioners for practitioners, with a consistent focus on the study of professional investigative practice across the following themes: focusing on financial and digital investigation and intelligence within criminology while drawing on insights from specialist fields the theoretical and conceptual challenges of what investigation should look like and the challenges of implementation in practice a shift in mindset and the use of lateral thinking to disentangle and critically assess problems to identify opportunities for effective practice using financial and digital techniques and assessing criminality and victimisation through financial and digital techniques and the investigative footprint they create. Each of these fields provides a base of principles, knowledge, intellectual and subject-specific skills, and transferable skills that underpin the expectation level for the professional practitioner and postgraduate student.
