The BA (Hons) in Criminology provides a unique vantage point to study issues related to crime, justice and people’s experiences of victimisation in a society transitioning from conflict. Criminologists are interested in how activities come to be defined as ‘criminal’, why definitions and responses to crime vary over time and place, as well as how people are affected by harmful behaviours. The subject includes a broad range of perspectives on understanding crime and criminal behaviour, as well as examining various methods in the prevention, policing and punishment of crime. Issues related to harm and victimisation are also considered, alongside how and why people move away from offending behaviour. Local and global examples are used throughout the programme to illustrate how these issues shape the world around us and to highlight how alternative ways of interpreting and responding to crime are possible.
