You will confront and seek to understand the most challenging social questions of our time by examining social relations and social change alongside the critical analysis of policies, institutions, and practices related to crime and its control. Themes of study include migration, human rights, inequalities, policing, deportation, security, institutions, racial justice, and organized, corporate, and state crime.

Graduates can pursue career paths in politics and government, the civil service, public policy, academia, and journalism. Possible professions include:
