Course overview

Crime is always in the public eye and has emerged as a social phenomenon inseparable from our day to day lives. Studying Criminology will allow you to understand the culture of crime and workings of the criminal justice system including the police, courts, prosecution services, prisons and rehabilitation services.

Criminology is about crime and punishment. It is an exciting interdisciplinary subject that draws on law, psychology and sociology to examine how crime is defined, why people commit crimes, and how society responds.

Have you ever wondered if people are born or made killers, considered how the media influences our perception of crime, or thought about the reasons why many crimes go unreported? Studying criminology will answer these questions and many more.

What you will study

Unit 1 will enable you to demonstrate understanding of different types of crime, influences on perceptions of crime and why some crimes are unreported.

Unit 2 will allow you to gain an understanding of why people commit crime, drawing on what you have learned in Unit 1.

Unit 3 will provide an understanding of the criminal justice system from the moment a crime has been identified to the verdict. You will develop the understanding and skills needed to examine information in order to review the justice of verdicts in criminal cases.

Unit 4 will enable you to apply your understanding of the awareness of criminality, criminological theories and the process of bringing an accused to court in order to evaluate the effectiveness of social control to deliver criminal justice policy.

Benefits of studying Criminology

Studying Criminology will enable you to develop outstanding oral and written communication skills, vital to all future careers. It will give you the ability to solve problems, provide skills of project-based research, development and presentation. Additionally, what you learn may stimulate interest for a possible career and widen your prospects in terms of higher education alongside the skills required for all employers.
