Crime, inequality and injustice
Rapid change. Rising crime. Public rage against society’s systems and inequalities. Get ready to unravel the big issues affecting our society with a combined degree in Sociology and Criminology. From anti-migrant movements and hate crime to sex work, social control and climate change, you’ll look at the cultural, political and economic contexts of crime and criminal justice and explore the social circumstances that influence people’s actions.


We will encourage you to understand the bigger picture of criminality. Why do some communities have higher rates of crime than others? Why do well-intended preventative campaigns fail to reach many people? You will build the skills to understand criminal justice and respond to social challenges in meaningful, creative ways.
