We are the top UK modern university for Criminology (1st of 37) - The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022.

 

Criminology is the study of crime, explanations for crime and social reactions to crime.

 

As an interdisciplinary social science subject, criminology draws on a range of perspectives, for example sociology, psychology and law.

 

Criminology aims to go beyond our common-sense assumptions and explore the complex and contentious nature of crime and criminal justice.
