Criminology Level 3 Applied
at Otley Prince Henry'S Grammar School Specialist Language College, Otley · college
What the college says
Criminology is the scientific study of criminal behaviour and how it can be managed, controlled and prevented. It includes the study of elements of law, psychology and sociology to enable students to analyse criminal situations and make recommendations for policy. Students also develop the knowledge and skills to research policy in practice, assess campaigns for changes in awareness and examine information to review verdicts in criminal cases. This is an applied course so students will study components of criminology in relation to real life scenarios and so it is particularly attractive for students who enjoy recognising how their learning relates to the world.
