Criminology and Law

About this course

Criminology and law together provide a searching examination of crime, justice and social order from both theoretical and legal perspectives. Law gives you a precise understanding of the rules and institutions through which society defines and responds to wrongdoing, from criminal law and evidence through to constitutional frameworks and human rights. Criminology provides the social scientific tools to interrogate those rules and institutions, asking how crime is socially constructed, how policing and punishment operate in practice, and what the relationship is between social inequality and the distribution of harm. At the University of Stirling you will study across four years of full-time study, including a year abroad that brings an international dimension to your understanding of how different legal and social systems approach crime and justice.
