OVERVIEW

The BA Criminology degree is designed for those who have an interest in crime and the criminal justice system. Through class discussions and independent study we explore both theoretical and practical perspectives of crime.

Criminology tackles questions such as what is crime? How are laws enforced? Why is crime concentrated in particular areas? How do you judge and evaluate evidence? How can crime be prevented? Our Criminology degree provides you with a gradual development of criminological knowledge that progressively advances across the years.
