... United Kingdom
... Open University

Course Overview

Crime, justice, and the workings of the law are matters that affect us all and often dominate the news. This degree takes a critical and analytical view of the role and functions of the legal system and examines its relationship with crime, harm, and criminal justice. With an appreciation of criminological theorizing and evidence, you will develop the skills to comment on crime, victimization, and responses to crime and deviance, including policy questions, at national, international, and global levels. You'll gain the ability to critically assess everyday understandings of crime, harm, and criminal justice, the social, political, economic, historical, and ethical dimensions of law, as well as gain knowledge of the key institutions that make up criminal justice and legal systems.

  • Explore the complex issues behind today’s crime, law, and justice headlines.

  • Understand, interpret, and apply concepts about crime and law to 'real world' problems

  • Develop transferable employability skills to support career progression.

  • Identify where criminal justice and law are failing to provide social justice, fairness, and equal opportunities in society.
