This dynamic course will support you to develop a critical understanding of contemporary and global criminological issues, with a specific focus on 'people and processes'. This course adopts a holistic approach, examining crime, justice, and penal policies to explore their impact on those involved in administering and receiving criminal justice. You will critically analyse how we might develop processes to improve outcomes for those who encounter the criminal justice system.
In addition to exploring key contemporary criminological issues, you will also receive advanced research training, exploring contemporary, innovative, cutting-edge research methodologies, including visual and online methods.
