What factors can explain changes in crime rates? How is climate change linked to the crimes of the powerful? Are prisons the appropriate response to criminal acts? Are we all treated equally before the law?

 

These are some of the issues you will explore in this course, by looking at the complex interactions between the state, the offender, the victim and society. You will think critically about how laws are made and how social structures shape both crime and responses to crime.

 

As part of our new pathway degree programmes, you will also be able to specialise Criminology with:

• Black Studies
• Social Policy
• Sustainability.
