What the college says

Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminal behaviour and the criminal justice system. Criminology is an increasingly popular subject for students who are interested in a career in criminal justice or studying criminology at university. The subject explores why people commit crime, drawing on explanations from psychology and sociology, along with how society tackles crime through the law, policing and punishment.
