• Focusing on serious crime, the students will explore the practice and theory of criminal activities, including how crime is detected and policed, methods of social control, and sanctions.
  • By examining different theoretical standpoints, they will form an understanding of various Western legal and social traditions and how they compare to each other.
  • They will investigate issues such as organized illicit trade and criminal enterprise, using case studies of criminal activities including financial crime, human trafficking, and violence prevention.
  • The modules will let them specialize in other areas of interest too, such as the nature of violence, terrorism, and policing transnational crime.
  • Most of their teaching will take place in a research-seminar format to allow you to develop critical thinking, but your learning will also be supported by lectures, guest speakers, and debates. They will have a chance to contribute to our research seminar series and take part in our annual criminology study trips abroad.
  • And if you need advice, our experienced teaching staff will always be available to help you.
