Criminology

Course summary

The criminology course enables students to examine crime and criminality in a critical way. Students consider the definition of crime, have the opportunity to design a campaign to raise awareness of crime, and consider what actually creates a criminal in the first year. In the second year, the focus is shifted to consider the policies and agencies involved in the criminal justice system. Again, students are encouraged to be critical and make their own judgements about these. Throughout the course students will apply their learning to real world situations and case studies, both historical and contemporary.
