Through our wide-ranging backgrounds and expertise, and in ensuring a rich interdisciplinary approach, we work to expand your criminological and victimological imagination. You can tailor your study to reflect your interests and develop areas of specialization. We encourage you to engage in independent learning and thought, and we equip you with the skills needed to find, retrieve and analyze an array of materials such as expert-led research, public and voluntary sector reports, personal testimonies, and documentaries.

Tutors are experienced and dedicated researchers and educators with sector experience and developed links with criminal justice agencies including youth justice service and local constabularies, local authorities, and community and voluntary sector groups, ensuring that your learning is underpinned by real-world knowledge and experience. Our knowledge, experience, and networks ensure that your learning is underpinned by real-world developments, and links with agencies provide opportunities for you to experience guest lectures by experts and gain specialist placements and voluntary experience.
