How is crime defined and who are criminals? What causes crime and how should societies respond to it?

You will analyse and debate questions like this on our BA Criminology, which is taught by criminologists who draw on their research experience at the cutting-edge of the discipline. You will explore crime, victimisation and crime control, drawing on insights from social policy, sociology, law, psychology, politics, history, and the media. This will develop your critical thinking and research skills and will give you a broad understanding of theoretical perspectives on crime and justice.
