Criminology is the study of crime, its causes, and its effects on individuals and society. It explores the social, cultural, biological, and psychological factors that contribute to criminal behaviour. Criminologists want to understand why crimes occur, the impact it has on victims, and the roles of criminal justice institutions in preventing and responding to crime.
This is a practical, hands-on degree that will qualify you to work in criminal justice and allied fields. Throughout the degree, you will develop a robust knowledge of criminology through a variety of courses.
