With a widespread and growing interest in crime in our modern society, this course helps you develop an understanding of the criminal justice system.

You'll be taught by experienced practitioners and award winning research staff.

You’ll learn how crime is defined, perceived and managed, questioning where our knowledge of crime comes from and exploring its real impact on daily life.

You'll have the opportunity to personalise your learning by choosing optional modules that match your interests and career goals.
