Overview

The public and political controversies surrounding crime and criminal justice processes in the UK form an important and ongoing context for study. The Criminology and Psychology (Hons) course at Liverpool John Moores University degree takes you on a critical exploration of relevant issues, controversies and current debates in the field.

Psychology is more concerned with developing a quantitative and qualitative understanding of the individual and what makes them tick, whereas criminologists examine society's responses to crime and justice in the context of everyday life. This means you will graduate with an understanding of how crime occurs, who commits it, how it is measured and how criminal justice impacts on the lives of different social groups

Career

The range of careers open to you once you graduate include:

probation work

youth justice

drug referral schemes

victim support

police and prison services

legal professions

local government

social work

postgraduate study and research

Some graduates have even used their degree to secure a career in the media research, teaching and charity work. It is likely that you will encounter some of our graduates as guest lecturers during your own studies.
