By studying Sociology and Criminology, you will investigate the causes of criminal behaviour as well as its consequences for victims and for society as a whole. You’ll pay particular attention to the role of criminal justice organisations in defining and responding to crime as a social problem. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme will give you sociological, historical, political and psychological perspectives for understanding and responding to crime and deviance. You’ll explore theoretical, empirical and methodological issues associated with sociology and other fields of social research and develop skills in critical analysis. Optional modules will cover issues as diverse as forensic science, war crimes, ethics, addiction and human rights.
