Criminology and Policing Nottingham Trent University

Overview

You'll explore the 'crime experience' from the perspective of the victims and perpetrators; what motivates people to commit crime and how society responds to it; and how crimes are solved through modern policing investigative techniques.

You'll be guided through your journey with us by our teaching team who have a crucial mix of experienced criminologists, and career law-enforcement professionals, who between them have decades of experience on the beat and working to shape the criminal justice system.

What you’ll study

This course provides unique insights into crime and policing by combining the 'academic' with real world policing practice. You'll have the opportunity to learn about the role of digital media investigators (DMIs), and the investigation and impact of digital crime. You'll explore how technology is both utilised by criminals, and is a key weapon for fighting crime for crime fighting agencies.

Within your practical modules, you'll also learn more about crime scene investigators (CSIs), and visit the Crime Scene House at our Clifton Campus to learn more about crime scene analysis and how to forensically recover evidence.

All of our modules will contribute to your overall experience that means you'll be well-prepared to enter an exciting and fulfilling career, whether that be shaping the future of policy and the criminal justice sector, patrolling the streets, or working with offenders and victims of crime.
