Course Overview

As crimes exist where laws prohibit behaviours and make provision for a criminal justice response, Criminology and Law are natural partners. Through a critical social sciences perspective, this course will enable you to study the foundations of criminology in partnership with your study of legal systems, criminal law and legal evidence. Youll explore key explanations for crimes and criminal offending, how crimes are defined and constructed, the work and practice of criminal justice systems and related work, as well as theories and practice of punishment and crime prevention. Through the course, youll have the opportunity to specialise your study around particular areas of interest in both criminology and law, from crime prevention, criminal justice and punishment, to particular types of crime or offending such as mentally disordered offenders or violent and organised crime. Youll also be able to explore the law relating to particular criminological concerns, such as medical, family, immigration and human rights law.
