Why do people offend, and how can social policy help create safer, fairer communities? Our Criminology with Offending Behaviour and Social Policy explores the causes of crime and offending. It examines how criminal justice systems, rehabilitation services, and social policies respond to some of society’s most pressing challenges. You’ll develop a strong foundation in criminological theory before investigating issues such as violence, victimisation, imprisonment, rehabilitation, social inequality, and the wider social factors that shape criminal behaviour.
Throughout the course, you will critically examine the relationship between crime, justice, and social change, considering how policy decisions influence offending, victimisation, and community safety. You will also explore how race, poverty, inequality, discrimination, and social disadvantage shape experiences of crime and justice, developing a deeper understanding of contemporary criminal justice challenges and the role of policy in creating fairer outcomes.
You’ll analyse how power, inequality, and disadvantage affect opportunities and outcomes within society. Through work-related learning and an independent research project, you’ll apply criminological knowledge to real-world issues while preparing for careers in probation, rehabilitation services, community justice, policy development, victim support, and the wider criminal justice sector.
On this course you will study a selection of modules, which may include: Offending Behaviour and Social Policy, Violence in Society, Imprisonment to Rehabilitation, Crime, Media and Digital Justice, Tackling Crime through Social Policy, Global Challenges and Social Futures, Criminalised Women, Criminal Deaths and Society’s Grief
