Introduction What do we study How will I learn What's next What else do I need to know

Introduction

Criminology is about crime and punishment. It is an exciting interdisciplinary subject that combines aspects of law, psychology, sociology and biology. It explores how crime is defined, why people commit crimes, and how society responds to crime. Studying criminology will allow you to understand the culture of crime and the workings of the criminal justice system, including the police, courts, prosecution services, prisons and rehabilitation services.

What do we study

You’ll cover topics like: the changing awareness of crime, perceptions of crime, why some crimes go unreported, criminological theories, crime scene to courtroom, and crime and punishment.

How will I learn

Learning activities are varied and diverse to reflect the nature of the subject. Lessons activities include debates, designing campaign materials, group work, project management and practical research activities. You will have the opportunity to analyse a range of case studies and real-life crime scenarios.

What's next

Studying criminology will enable you to develop skills that are vital to all careers, including independent working, communication skills, problem solving, and research skills. Students could go on to study Criminology, Sociology, Psychology, Law or similar subjects in higher education.

What else do I need to know

Depending on your previous grades you may need to study English and maths alongside your other courses. These are essential skills that all employers value.

Prepares you with the knowledge and skills necessary for a wide range of careers
It will provide you with opportunity to meet experts in the field of crime and criminal justice such as the police, probation and prison workers. You will also see criminal justice in action by visiting the local courts.
