This course offers a critical study of the connections between criminological theory, criminal justice policy and social control. You will examine the social, economic and political contexts that give rise to crime and victimisation.
In addition, the formal responses to offending behaviour, including policing, punishment and rehabilitation, and wider strategies of social control, will be considered and challenged. You will also study the criminalisation process and engage critically with crim reduction methods.
Your qualitative and quantitative research skills will be developed and enhanced, facilitating your own criminological inquiry into a specialist area.
