Overview
The Criminology (Study Abroad) course from Lancaster University takes you through landmark theories to the critical evaluation and analysis of statistics, to detailed studies of processes and pathways through the criminal justice system. You will be taught by an internationally recognised team of researchers who lead in shaping both criminal justice policy and the academic field of criminology.
Our expertise and research inform our teaching and give you an insight into the ways policies and laws are influenced and changed.
Topics might include:
- Human rights
- Asylum and migration
- Green criminology
- Cyber security and policing
- Gendered harm
- Media and popular culture
- Youth justice
- Crime and power
You will also gain insights directly from visiting speakers. Previously students have listened to talks from Victim Support, a Restorative Justice coordinator from Lancashire Constabulary, a Detective Inspector working in domestic abuse and a 'professional burglar' who turned his life around and now advocates for crime prevention and community support.
