What the college says

Criminology is the study of crime from a social perspective and therefore looks at the causes of crime, the social impact of crime and the criminals involved in the crime. Criminologists study these in an attempt to understand why criminals commit crime as well as finding out why people react in certain ways to crimes. This is for students who are interested in finding out more about how we are aware of crime whilst finding out about why people may commit crime.
