What the college says

Students will gain a deeper understanding of why people commit crimes; the influences upon perceptions of crime; the variety of crimes committed and why some are unreported. By exploring these ideas through applying their learning to a range of case studies, both current and historical, the students will be equipped to consider how the application of their learning impacts on themselves, other individuals, employers, society and the environment. Students will develop the skills to examine the legal process, reviewing the justice of verdicts in criminal cases, having followed through from the crime committed to the verdict. They will apply their understanding of criminality, criminological theories and the process of bringing an accused to court, to evaluate the effectiveness of social control to deliver criminal justice policy
